Consociational federalism (Althusian, the commonwealth composed upward from family and collegium); Societal Corporatism (primary draw: functional bodies arising independently and bargaining with the state, distinguished from state corporatism where the state creates and controls them); Pluralism (real personality, associations existing prior to state recognition rather than by state grant); Roman law (the collegium as a chartered body with internal jurisdiction, statutes, officers, and property); Church polity (the jura in sacra and jura circa sacra division, internal governance versus external supervision).
