minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink16•edit-21 year agoMy geography teacher had a nice saying: The Constitution is a contract between civilian and government about their obligations to each other. Civilian must obey its rules, government on the other hand can choose to not to.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink9•1 year agoI’d go further and declare that the “social contract” is a mythical story that serves to dominate the masses. The constitution is a body of rules set by a constituent assembly (aka a bunch of elites) which the people have no control over.
