- 1違憲的（違反憲法的）
Against the constitution — the top set of rules that a country, or sometimes a club, company or student union, is run by. If a court says a law is unconstitutional, that law is dead: it breaks the highest rule, so it cannot stand, no matter how many people voted for it. This is a serious, formal word, mostly heard in news and courtrooms. Two things students find surprising. First, it is not the same as 'illegal'. An ordinary crime is illegal — it breaks a normal law. Something unconstitutional breaks the rule ABOVE the laws, and usually it is the government itself being accused, not a person. Second, English speakers also use it loosely and jokingly for a group's own written rules: 'Making us pay twice is unconstitutional' about a club committee. And people sometimes stretch it further as a joke about something that just feels deeply wrong — 'Pineapple on pizza should be unconstitutional' — where there is no constitution involved at all.
From the word’s history
un- + constitutional.
由 un-「不」加 constitutional「合憲的」組成。
組成un-（不、非）+ constitutional（憲法的）。constitutional 來自 constitution（憲法）+ -al；constitution 本身是 constitute（構成、組成）+ -ion，字面上是「把一個國家組成起來的那套東西」。
