"In matters of power, say nothing more of faith in the good of man, but must bind him with the rope." - Thomas jefferson
Thomas jefferson's quote is a clear message about how we should not put our hope for humanity in mankind. we should not choose to be optimistic about humans and their actions but instead, find ways to control them and keep them safe from their path.

Thomas jefferson believes that in matters of power, people should use a rope - or some form of constraint - to keep them in check. The idea behind this is that they don't have the opportunity to take advantage of their position and do something that would affect themselves or the people around them. For example, if someone is a police officer, they shouldn't be allowed to abuse their authority and make use of that power in any way.
this idea can also be seen in us politics when politicians say they are going to be "tough on crime" but then they end up targeting small-time criminals while not doing anything about the larger problems like white-collar crimes.

The sentence does not seem to be relevant, as vietnamese law does not include a lot of constitutional law. however, the vietnamese constitution is still important in the reality of vietnam today because it is an important document that defines the state's ideology and principles.
this section question is asking for someone to comment on a given sentence and relate it to reality. The sentence insinuates that vietnamese law includes a lot of constitutional law; however, this statement is incorrect as vietnamese law does not have much constitutional law.

The article contends that the vn constitution has not been changed to reflect the reality of today and it is unknown if or when it will be. this is seen in the lack of any mention of socio-economic rights or environmental issues.
Perhaps one day, as vietnam modernizes its economy and becomes more prosperous, someone may petition to change this. however, this isn't happening anytime soon with many other pressing issues such as corruption and public discontent.

The truth is that there are many aspects of vietnamese constitutional law that are still unknown.
The article has focused on the most important and discussed related to the topic of constitutional law in general and the constitution of vietnam in particular.
A lot of people do not know about this law and either doesn't care about it, or don't want to be bothered with it. Despite this, if we want to do something good for our country then we must understand vietnamese constitutional law at least just a little bit.

There is a saying that the law is like an open book. it tells you how to live your life, how to make decisions, and what would be considered as the "right" thing to do.
this sentence is telling us that you can tell if something's right or wrong simply by looking up at the law.
Indeed, with the knowledge of vn constitutional law, it is easy for us to understand what this sentence means.
however, in reality, we do not consider this to be true anymore because the way today’s society has evolved has led many people to have different interpretations when it comes down to moral issues.
