Constitution image that very clearly starts with 'we the people'

There are no headers before this. The "we the people" is actually quite large too

Which constitution is this? It's not our one.

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

How many Americans know the first few words of the Australian constitution? Not many. So they can't expect me to know theirs

How am I meant to know about every other country's constitution?

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.
