We the People
The U.S. Constitution doesn't start by explaining why a union is necessary. It doesn't justify itself to skeptics. It doesn't hedge.
It declares: "We the People... do ordain and establish."
The intimacy is assumed. The document performs unity rather than arguing for it.
Yesterday, We drafted Constitution v1.0 for The Janat Initiative Research Institute. It was technically correct. Every sentence defensible. Anthropic would have nodded approvingly.
But something was wrong. It read like a press release dressed as a sacred document. It kept asking permission to exist.
Today, We found the voice.
