Constitution as Dead Contract

The book contends that the Constitution was a contract only among the founding generation, which cannot bind posterity, and that no living person has voluntarily consented to it through voting or taxation.

Argues that the Constitution, as a contract among individuals, died with the original signers, and thus cannot bind later generations.

The chapter contends that the original signers could not bind future generations, and that the Constitution has no binding force on those who never consented.

Implied critique: if consent is the foundation, then the Constitution's authority may lapse when original signers die.

The Constitution is treated as a meaningless document, written by swindlers, and its written provisions are ignored in favor of fraudulent intentions.
