You substituted two words in error. The original words are both extremely important words, and your quote in error changes the meaning significantly.

‘Respecting’ and ‘governing’ have two totally different meanings, and you changed the meaning of the clause by a bunch.

To a lesser degree, the substitution of ‘the’ for ‘an’ changes the meaning of that clause as well.

Words mean things, very specific things and especially with regard to the Constitution should never be changed. However, your attitude toward that is obvious to all. You think anyone who corrects you is being picky and silly.

I don’t think I like you. My intent was pretty clear and you are nitpicking. Simply making your point in a single message respectfully would have been adequate instead of employing an imperious interrogational style.

And THAT is obvious to all.
