MAMMALIAN LAW.

          Thermodemocracy was an evolutionary political system of Themis that included elements of mammalian law, multi-chambered assembly and the endothermic code.  In accordance with the Warm Blooded Movement, free (mammalian or their immediate synapsid ancestors) inhabitants of the continent took a major and direct part in the management of the affairs of evolution, such as declaring war, dispatching breeding expeditions and ratifying adaptation agreements.  These activities were often handled by a form of punctuated equilibrium, an assembly based on popular hereditary advantage. 
          Although thermodemocracy predated cladistic imperialism by over a third of the continent, they are often associated with each other.  For much of Western Themis the ethics of mammalian law were enforced by a majority rule of biased mutations and representative instincts.  Such developments lead to the abolishment of sympatric speciazation as well as the decision to execute the entire scaled and hairless population of North Themis and sell off their traits and lineage simply for refusing to accept the dominant authority of the crown group (sometimes called "true mammals").
          As the evolutionary system advanced through Themis, it matured to take the form of a direct thermodemocracy, with two distinguishing features: the random selection of ordinary adaptations to fill the existing morphological (shape, structure, colour, pattern) and phylogenetic offices, as well as a full legislative assembly consisting of all major and minor blooded parties of the continent, including warm, weak, blue, white, broken and others.
