Any analysis of American politics in comparison must begin with the central premise that, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Any analysis of American politics in comparison must begin with the central premise that, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Using that as your central point (0,0), your x-axis becomes no individual freedom on the left to anarchy on the right. Y-axis would be centralized government on the positive axis to pure libertarianism on the negative axis. This would better interpret Presidents past and present, and Communism to French idealism as well as the major religions. When this patterning is done, an interesting (and I believe very compelling) model emerges regarding the American experiment. But that's probably another blog post...
The axis sound... the same. Wouldn't "no individual freedom" rather neatly coincide with "centralized government"?
Or are you doing what Robert is doing: x axis is what the PEOPLE do (or demand) and y axis is what the government do to them?
I supposed I'd need some more examples. (I think Robert is doing more articles on this, so it's an opportunity to explore. Plus, my good friend Jay and I have been playing around with a different matrix as well, so this is interesting to me...)

I would like to see that article come to fruition
