In the U.S., it is presumed that every citizen is aware of the law and is expected to comply with it, a legal principle known as "ignorance of the law is no excuse." This means that individuals cannot avoid legal responsibility by claiming they did not know a law existed. The presumption underscores the importance of public access to legal information and education. However, it also highlights the challenges faced by those who may not have adequate resources to understand complex legal systems.

In the US it is presumed that every citizen a abides by the law b believes in the law c knows the law d votes to uphold the law?

I'm not sure I discern a question here, but in a civilised society a citizen (I imagine you mean resident) does not have to believe in the law - there are several laws against which our instincts and feelings would rebel so (b) does not apply. Ignorance of the law has never been an excuse - so (c) goes out for a walk. The vote could be to change the law (d) fails to hold any water.

When present in the US, you are subject to US law, no matter what your citizenship is. There are exceptions for certain diplomatic personnel, but for an aveage citizen, US law applies. A US citizen visiting another country is subject to the laws of THAT country. I am a US citizen, and US law permits me to own and carry a handgun. If I were in a country that did not permit private ownership of handguns, I would be subject to arrest if I carried a handgun there.
