Private citizens are not subject to the constitution. The constitution only applies to the goverment. Private citizens are protected from the goverment by the constitution, and more specifically by the amendments.

We are all obliged to support the Law of the Land. -- You need to reread Article VI.

The constitution only applies to the goverment.

Wrong. -- "In a constitutional republic, the constitution is the supreme law, superior to all other public acts, whether by officials or private citizens. Any statute, regulation, executive order, or court ruling which is inconsistent with that supreme law and not derived from it is unconstitutional and null and void from inception.
A citizen not only has the duty to obey the law, but to help enforce it, within his ability, and to do what he can to prepare himself and others to do so."

Private citizens are protected from the goverment by the constitution, and more specifically by the amendments.

I agree. And in return for liberty under the Constitution, most of us have pledged to support its principles. In fact such an oath is required of ALL officials & naturalized citizens.

I think it should be required of everyone who votes.
