People who think of the Constitution as a contract also think of something
like Social Security as a "social contract." Ie. our grandparents made laws
that said everyone has to pay into a system and when people retire others
are socially obligated, by threat of violence, to take care of them. Such
thinking has a potential for a great deal of abuse.

  Jefferson thought the Constitution should expire with each new
  generation, seems he suggested every 30 years. Thomas Paine said the
  same thing. Besides even if it was a valid contract that continued
  for over 200 years if the government ever violated that contract, the
  contract is null and void, it is very likely the Federal government
  has at least violated the contract 1 time in 200 years, thus even if
  the contract was valid and the authority over borders was valid, it's
  not now. The same goes for the state constitutions, if the state
  government violated the contract at least once the contract is null
  and void, the contract is no longer valid, the state government has
  no legitamite authority anymore even if the constitution was a valid
  contract and  the dead could enforce it on the living.---
