The US constitution. Thought it said US in the post itself, but I suppose it technically didn’t clarify
In any case, they more than 99% likely mean the US constitution given how US-centric social media is, and how the US constitution’s start of “we the people” is fairly well known in the US
Sure, not knowing it’s the US constitution is reasonable if not from the US
However, I think one could take a reasonable guess that if the first word of a constitution wasn’t a pronoun, this post probably wasn’t about that specific constitution
Why would someone post something like OP without stating what constitution it is? Do they expect only americans to read it? Maybe keep your american jokes in american specific communities.
Youre technically right, it could have been clearer by explicitly stating it. Still, Im positive that 99.9% understood immediately, including them. Its like saying something about Trump and someone comments “how was I supposed to know youre talking about Donald Trump and not Carl Philipp Trump”
Thats not in the least what Im saying. I actually had no idea about the wording of the US constitution before this post. But how many other fascist governments actively attacking LGBTQ rights in the last few weeks do you know? I honestly dont think anyone would have thought this was not about the US. Maybe if you havent watched the news once for the last month.
If you ignore all the headings and contents pages, I think it’s “whereas”… So what’s your point? Whereas isn’t a pronoun.
There are no headers before this. The “we the people” is actually quite large too
Which constitution is this? It’s not our one.

How many Americans know the first few words of the Australian constitution? Not many. So they can’t expect me to know theirs
Knowing the wording of the US constitution is absolutely not required for guessing that its about that one.
How would one guess? Only americans are arrogant enough to assume the whole internet is american?
I dont think youre as ignorant as youre pretending to be
I’m not ignorant. I’m making a point, you drongo.
How am I meant to know about every other country’s constitution?

Its not reasonable, theyre trolling. It couldnt have been clearer.
They’re obviously being facetious but it absolutely could have been clearer.

Lol “it’s unreasonable for foreigners to not know the text of our constitution!”.
American stereotype.

They mean the Australian Constitution. I’ll make sure I intentionally misunderstand when the fascists come for Australia next.
What country are they taking about if not Australia? Do other countries even have constitutions?
you keep talking like that and it’s going to become your state constitution.
The constitution doesn’t have a contents page. It was written in the 18th century on a parchment.
The first thing in the constitution is the preamble, and the first word of the preamble is a pronoun.
