Answer that I'll offer: PURSUING WISDOM
There were many Greek philosophers, and their ideas were not all in agreement with each other. But in general, the Greek philosophers all agreed that pursuing wisdom is the most important thing in life. One of the earliest of Greek philosophers, Pythagoras (in the 6th century BC), is thought to have coined the term "philosopher." The report is that Pythagoras did not want to claim to be a wise man who already had great wisdom, but that he was a "lover of wisdom" who sought to be wise. In Greek, "philos" is a word for "love" and "sophia" is the word for wisdom. So a "philosopher" is a "lover of wisdom."
The great philosopher Socrates (5th century BC) was famous for saying, "The unexamined life is not worth living." He saw the goal of his life as constantly seeking wisdom -- and that what truly made him wise was recognizing how little he truly knew with certainty.
Other Greek philosophers like Plato and Aristotle and more followed in that tradition. They did not all agree on all the details of what the best pattern is for life in this world. But they did all seek wisdom as the most important thing in life.
The Great Compromise was an agreement made among the delegates to the Constitutional Convention of 1787 that the US government would have two legislative houses in Congress: the Senate where each state has two Senators, and the House of Representatives where each state has a number of Representatives based on population.
Answer:
An independent or nonpartisan politician is a politician not affiliated with any political party. There are numerous reasons why someone may stand for office as an independent.
Some politicians have political views that do not align with the platforms of any political party, and therefore choose not to affiliate with them. Some independent politicians may be associated with a party, perhaps as former members of it, or else have views that align with it, but choose not to stand in its name, or are unable to do so because the party in question has selected another candidate. Others may belong to or support a political party at the national level but believe they should not formally represent it (and thus be subject to its policies) at another level.
In running for public office, independents sometimes choose to form a party or alliance with other independents, and may formally register their party or alliance. Even where the word "independent" is used, such alliances have much in common with a political party, especially if there is an organization which needs to approve the "independent" candidates.
