Overt expressions of White nationalism and White supremacy are once again mainstream in U.S. politics. Social movements advancing racist and nativist policies often do so through the language of constitutional rights, appealing to the Founding Fathers to advance exclusionary politics. Studying the legal discourse of conservative activists reveals the ideological work of law in buttressing White proprietary claims to the nation. This article investigates the Constitution as a key text and symbol in the current struggle over the hegemony of White supremacy in the United States. Examining the interpretive work of constitutional educators and online commenters, this study performs a discursive analysis of the racial ideology embedded within a conservative constitutional discourse. Tracing this constitutional discourse across multiple platforms and political projects, I find that this constitutional discourse maintains a commitment to White supremacy while disavowing its explicit logic of racial superiority. To conclude, I suggest that rights claims function as territorial claims and can serve as vehicles for restricting, rather than expanding, state membership. As such, geographers interested in populism and nationalism should attend to the way in which rights claims are enrolled in nationalist politics.

白人民族主义和白人至上的公开表达再次成为美国政治的主流。推动种族主义和本土主义政策的社会运动通常通过宪法权利的语言来实现，呼吁开国元勋推进排他性政治。研究保守派活动家的法律话语揭示了法律在支持怀特对国家的所有权主张方面的意识形态工作。本文将宪法作为当前美国白人至上霸权斗争中的关键文本和象征进行调查。本研究检查宪法教育者和在线评论者的解释工作，对嵌入在保守宪法话语中的种族意识形态进行了话语分析。追踪跨多个平台和政治项目的宪法话语，我发现这种宪法话语在否认其种族优越性的明确逻辑的同时，仍然坚持对白人至上的承诺。总而言之，我建议权利主张作为领土主张发挥作用，可以作为限制而不是扩大国家成员资格的工具。因此，对民粹主义和民族主义感兴趣的地理学家应该关注权利主张在民族主义政治中的参与方式。
