My 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.
I'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.
Happy cake day!
Thank you for you kind thoughts. Anyhow, I didn't expect this tradition to persist in lemmy.
Idk, my apologies, kind of a muscle memory thing. Honestly didn't know if it is a thing here at lemmy.
Me neither ;)
