so how was it written? language is a social connecting medium. this is pretty self-evident. better not to think about it.
how was it approved if not in a social forum/context?
what is a legal system if it is not a specific set of forms within which social life unfolds, an expression of social relations of power as they obtained at the point of writing and approving the constitution?
what are the courts if they aren't social institutions?
democracy is a social arrangement. "liberties" are parameters that shape social relations.
i got the idea that the constitution is a social act because it is a social act.
