The U.S. Constitution originally applied primarily to free, white male citizens. Over time, through amendments and legal interpretations, its protections have been extended to encompass all citizens, including women, people of color, and other marginalized groups. Key amendments, such as the 14th and 19th, played significant roles in expanding these rights. Today, the Constitution is understood to protect the rights of all individuals within the United States, regardless of race, gender, or background.

Is a political leader a dictator if they say their country's constitution doesn't apply to them?
No. There are a few issues with this definition.First, it does not matter what the leader says, but what the reality on the ground is. For example, you have King Mohamed VI of Morocco who is, on paper, a constitutional monarch and completely respects the Moroccan Constitution, but has effective power to do anything he wishes to do. Conversely, you have leaders in democracies who make the occasional remark that a certain provision of their country's constitution does not apply to them only to find themselves on the wrong side of the law.Second, the constitution not applying to the leader is a test a dictatorship that is not necessarily effective. The case where the constitution does not apply is an unlimited government (as opposed to a limited government where the constitution does apply to the leadership). Unlimited governments are always dictatorships. Limited governments can be dictatorships or they can be democratic or oligarchical. So, the test would exclude many countries where there are limited dictatorships, like China. (Chinese officials can be prosecuted for violating the Chinese Constitution or Laws.)However, while not all dictators are those leaders for whom the national constitution does not apply, all leaders for whom the national constitution does not apply are dictators.
