Somehow, we live in this world where, in 2017, the US Constitution is held up as the supreme law of the land, right?

不知何故，我们生活在这个世界上， 在 2017 年，美国宪法被奉为国家的最高法律， 对吧？

The Constitution, ran his reasoning, is the supreme law of the land; it limits and binds all who act in the name of the United States;it limits the powers of Congress and defines the rights of citizens.

按照他的推理， 宪法是这片土地上的最高法律；它限制和约束所有以合众国名义行事的人； 它限制国会的权力并界定公民的权利。
