Yep. But government ≠society.
We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union.......
created a Constitution which, specifically and deliberately, limits the power of government over We the People.
Nice dodge
We the People created a government in a document we like to call "The Constitution"
A government of the people, by the people and for the people (thanks Abe)
It's not a dodge. I'm pointing out an error in your conception of the kind of government the Constitution authorizes. The founders never wanted totalitarian government. They never saw people as the property of the state. They insisted it should be the other way around. That's the irony of you going around chanting "We the People". You seem to think it's a rallying cry for socialists, when it fact it's the opposite. The slogan emphasizes the primacy of people
over government. We the People create government, and government serves at our discretion - not, as you would have it - the other way around.
