New Covenant (politics)

A New Covenant was a political slogan used by United States president Bill Clinton to describe his political philosophy and agenda. The term was used sporadically during the 1992 United States presidential election campaign and Clinton's terms in office to describe a "new social compact" between the United States government and its citizens. In speech to the Democratic Leadership Council in May 1991, Clinton used the slogan "New Choice". He started publicly using the phrase "New Covenant" when he announced his candidacy for the Democratic Party's nomination on October 3, 1991. The phrase has been attributed to Clinton advisor William Galston.
