[Avodah] why not two sided??

[Harvey Benton]

if the definition of a brit is simply unilateral, then why not 

just call it a law, or din, or halacha? or anything else that is
imposed upon us? eg, if you don't go over the speeding limit, 

THEN, you will not get a speeding ticket, or; if you do your 

homework (and/or) eat your peas and carrotss, then 

(no choice in the matter)***

you will get your ice-cream sandwhich(es) [or in our case 

a better olam haba, and/or a possibility of olam haba?] afterwards...
why the implication (at least in my mind) that a brit, is 2-sided?
