  New constraints on resonance saturation in chiral perturbation theory are
investigated. These constraints arise because each consistent saturation scheme
must map to a representation of the full QCD chiral symmetry group. The
low-energy constants of chiral perturbation theory are then related by a set of
mixing angles. It is shown that vector meson dominance is a consequence of the
fact that nature has chosen the lowest-dimensional nontrivial chiral
representation. It is further shown that chiral symmetry places an upper bound
on the mass of the lightest scalar in the hadron spectrum.
