While Mustafa Kemal was designing the new Turkish Republic, he had only one basis: National Sovereign. As he believes in the public’s spirit, he founded Turkish Republic based on democracy. Some people had considered him as dictator or sultan. But he always rejected all those titles. Because he always thought as a member of Turkish nation. He had no privilege or limitless authority. That’s the reason why he had Turkish Senate founded in 1920.
In opposite of monarchy or dictatorship, the public has power on the top administration. The public votes their administrators and also supervises them. The authorities and missions are limited with a constitution. No one can act without any law. The public has right to state the opinions on various subjects or critize the administrators. The constitution gives both parties various rights in frame of law. Nobody has limitless freedom. The freedom of a person finishes when it violates other person’s rights. So, an order can be established in public. Division of powers is also very important. Those powers are law making, enforcement and justice. They have different organs to put them in order. Any person or any position can’t control them together. It creates chaos in public.
Always Atatürk….
