Abstract

Covenants and constitutions: strange bedfellows, but more than alliteration unites them. In this brief paper I shall explore the relationship between them. In order to orient the discussion, my use of the term "covenants" includes all forms of servitudes, easements, and restrictions that one person can place on another's lands. "Constitutions" are the documents that identify and entrench the fundamental law of a state or nation, on matters of both structure and individual rights.
