Where did you come up with the notion anyone was saying the Constitution was a dictionary?

With all due respect, the post you incoherently replied to was directed to the poster of 74 who was making a weird claim about NBC which is not in the Constitution.

In the case of NBC, it is one of the important things in the Constitution that the Founders did not define. Anyone claiming they “know” the definition of NBC is delusional.

Blah blah blah. You said it wasn’t DEFINED in the Constitution. So why would you think it should be defined there if you didn’t think the Constitution was a dictionary?

The Constitution was written for the average person in language that was meant for everyone to understand. This we all know. Which meant that the meaning of a term such as “natural born citizen” was in common use at that time and did NOT require definition.
