The American Constitution: A Covenant, Not Just a Contract
The American Constitution should not be regarded as a sacred or divine document; it is fundamentally a human creation, a series of political compromises that reflects a set of obligations rather than ultimate demands. Unlike a contract, which is performance-based and can dissolve if conditions are not met, a covenant establishes a deeper relational foundation among its parties. It embodies an acceptance-based framework that shapes identity and emphasizes a commitment that transcends mere contractual obligations. This perspective suggests that the American regime is better understood as a covenant—an inherited connection forged by past generations that molds citizens' identities and influences their roles in society, emphasizing continuity and relational commitment over transactional agreements.
