| | Covenant as a Political Concept |
 | | Following Aristotle, every political system is delineated along three dimensions: its moral constitution, its socio-economic constitution, and its frame of government, which taken together link the two faces of politics. |
| | The Rousseaunian formulation had limited popularity in the United States but became the dominant terminology in revolutionary France, although it did share the field with the other two terms, particularly compact, especially in the early years of the Revolution. |
| | Covenant is one of the major recurring principles of political import which informs and encompasses all three themes -- an idea which defines political justice, shapes political behavior, and directs humans toward an appropriately civic synthesis of the two in their effort to manage political power. |
