Oh, and as for infringing copyright by paraphrasing the US Constitution, you aren't. I'm not sure which law would apply, but the British copyright would've long since expired and the US copyright would've never applied to government documents in the first place, and also long since expired. In any case, quoting a single sentence for the purposes of commentary is likely to be fair use in any system.

Definitely wasn't paraphrasing the US Constitution. Not even close...
