Direct Democracy /Holacracy

Anchor Circle
Constitution
The Union Constitution defines the powers of the Organization, and consequently the powers of the Continent Circles, which in turn, allocate the power to the Country Circles, which in turn allocate the power to the City Circles, which in turn allocate the powers to the Community Circles, which in turn allocate the powers to the teams and businesses.
The power to the Members
In Sound Prosperity, the Members can intervene directly in the running of the organization. Thanks to direct democracy, members cannot only vote, elect representatives and stand for election, but they can also make new laws or change existing ones.
Federalism = Community Unionism
It is important to understand that the words Circle and Union are chosen on purpose. A Circle holds all in that Circle, a Union shows UNITY, which is needed to succeed.
Community Unionism is not based on parties but refers to the formation of alliances between unions to achieve common goals. These unions seek to organize the employed, unemployed, and underemployed. They press for change in the workplace and beyond, organizing around issues such as welfare reform, health care, jobs, housing, and immigration. Individual issues at work are seen as being a part of broader societal problems which they seek to address.
Unlike trade unions, community union membership is not based on the workplace- it is based on common identities and issues.
UNION CIRCLE
Community Acts are enacted by the Union Circle.
The primary task of any executive is to legislate (approve, reject, amend or repeal laws).

CITY CIRCLES AND COMMUNITY CIRCLES
Not every commune has the same powers or degree of autonomy. The extent to which a commune can enact its own rules is determined by the relevant Continent/Country constitution. Once again, it is the communal legislature that enacts the laws in the commune. The larger communes usually have their own parliament, while in smaller communes it is normally the communal assembly that approves new laws.

5. Business, Finance

COUNCIL OF CIRCLES
One representor of each of the most active countries, maximum 25. (as of now Oct, 2019)
The SP-RULES are enacted by the Union Circle, i.e. the Congress. (legislature). Any member or body that wants a new law to be enacted or an existing law to be changed, whether they are members (i.e. with the right to vote at Union Council level), interest groups, members of the Council of State, can submit their request to the Union Circle.
However, it is Union Circle that ultimately decides whether a Rule should be amended and how it should be amended.
