The Constitution doesn't define the word “is” either.

Fundamentally our experiment in self-rule depends upon the honesty and good will of the citizens dedicated to making it work.

The Constitution could be the size of the IRS code, with every possible term define in tightest legal language possible, and evil will still leak through. The most carefully crafted laws will **NEVER** corral evil.
