A New Covenant was a political slogan used by U.S. President Bill Clinton to describe his political philosophy and agenda.[1] The term was used sporadically during the 1992 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".[2] He started publicly using the phrase "New Covenant" when he announced his candidacy for the Democratic Party's nomination on October 3, 1991.[3] The phrase has been attributed to Clinton advisor William Galston.[4]
