De facto Systems: Defection and Prisoner's Dilemma

The main structual support for de facto systems is defection. In this instance I am refering to the standing set of rules that comprise citizenship in the Social Contract Theory which is the accepted model of government worldwide. Within this model are a set of primary and secondary laws. The primary laws are the rights of citizenship and the duties that one has to perform. The secondary laws are the codes that define the officials and procedures that are used to uphold the primary law.

In de facto or criminal acts, usually elements of the secondary law usurp the right of the citizen. Hence this is a rule of force. The elements are usually the military or police.

Impunity is usually sought from prosecution directly from the courts. If the de facto elements are free from any consideration of criminal or civil prosecution the operation will have room to expand until it is checked. In this instance the culture and resilience of the population are disintegrated as the operation needs continued support to survive and at the same time create scapegoats for any proceedings that do arise. There are also defacto purges.

In distributive justice the real constitution defines what is the commonweal of the people. In defacto states rogue element offer “deals” that reflect “interests”. The latter tem is used quite frequently in International Relations and quid pro quo or something for something is used at times for “deals”.

It is within this basic framework a corrupt stage of history has occurred in the United States occurred under:

· Ronald Reagan
· George Bush Sr.
· Bill Clinton
· George Bush III
