On the other hand, centralization occurs when forces far from these self-governing localities use their power and influence to impose their ways on other smaller localities. In such a situation, the former free individuals lose their self-governance and the option to choose from diverse ways of life, therefore becoming tools used to benefit those in power in distant lands under an increasingly conformist policy.

People conceived of governments to benefit them and reflect eternal law, but eventually they become so powerful and efficient they begin to manipulate the people for their own benefit. Democratic states tend to end up centralizing political power in a few oligarchs. The central authority begins to creep in and take over every opposing, competing institution able to impede its progress. They subject local governance, churches, family or tribal ties, local laws, and customs to the majority's will, imposed by a small minority of powerful government officials. Further, only the largest majority is sovereign. The largest majority at the federal level overrules numerous smaller and more diverse majorities in smaller localities. Democracy inevitably leads to "One Majority to Rule Them All."
