A Religious Document

The Constitution is a secular version of a religious document. It is attributed to have magical powers, one of them being that "We the people" means you - who did not exist when "We the people" got announced and addressed. The actual "we" in the "We the people" are the people who created and signed the Constitution. Now, I talk to a lot of stupid assholes. And they all say that the people who signed it were representing all the people who didn't. Which is not true. No "representative" has ever contacted the people he represents. No agreement has ever been made between bureaucrats and "the people they represent." this is part of the religious aspect of the Constitution: that it does things it doesn't, in reality,  on this planet, actually do.
