What is contained in any constitution should be followed or obeyed by all,both the government and the governed(the people).in this case,all the action of the government and those of the people must be carried in accordance with the constitution.
So for me.Nobody,no matter the position or status is above the law.the supremacy of the constitution makes it to protect the rights of human beings,it should always acts as the defender of the people in order to prevent the government from misuse of powers giving to it by the same constitution.
But in my country, the supremacy of the constitution is for the poor and not the rich. The court, which is an arm of government that should ensure that society is just and equitable, is now controlled by the rich. Favorably, court judgment is now for the highest bidder. The constitution is supreme and is above everybody including the president. But now the presidents, family members, and cronies are above the law, and this is why they can do whatever they like.
People are stupid. At least US people with regard to their Constitution.
The Constitution is designed to allow freedom for the people. If people are free, they have the right to contract with each other and with government. This is expressed by the
Contract Clause in the US Constitution, and by court adjudications that say that this applies to people as well as government.
It might not be perfect but I envy the American legal system. It is far better than what we experience in our country. A former president has never been investigated in my country because they are seen as above the law. We still have impartial judges in the US courts, but in my country, almost all the judges are corrupt. Only a few don't take bribes. What I mean is that Americans might not be enjoying the kind of freedom they deserve but their condition is far better than other countries.
