但不是说宪法不能拿来定罪,虽然没有无争议的案例表明如此。一个比较接近的案例是：

举例：1862年，一个南方居民撕毁了一面美国星条旗，Bulter将军就以叛国罪吊死了他，具体指控是"high crimes and misdemeanors against the laws of the United States, and the peace and dignity thereof and the Law Martial." 公告如下：

“William B. Mumford, a citizen of New Orleans, having been convicted before a military commission of treason and an overt act thereof, tearing down the United States flag from a public building of the United States, after said flag was placed there by Commodore Farragut, of the United States navy: It is ordered that he be executed according to sentence of said military commission on Saturday, June 7, inst., between the hours of 8 a.m. and 12 a.m. under the directions of the provost-marshal of the District of New Orleans, and for so doing this shall be his sufficient warrant.”

注意：High crimes and misdemeanors 来自宪法第2条第4款："The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."

而公告中的 "overt act"也是来自于宪法。

当然，这是军事法庭的决定，而且所指控违法“the laws of the United States”包含但不限于美国宪法。然而，这些语言High crimes and misdemeanors，overt act都是来自于宪法的。
