The analogy of a constitution outline rights as a contract is one of the worst I've heard, and straight out of Hollywood (see "The Majestic").Constitutions aren't contracts between a nations people, they're just physical representations of unspoken, but understood, basic freedoms.I.e., the U.S. Constitution does not create the right to free speech, rather is protects that right.
