let me spell this out for you.
Haven't you been spelling everything out, for everyone, all the time?
That's what I've been doing since I first got on here!
The Constitution supersedes the Declaration of Independence.
Oh. My.
"Supersedes" it? How, exactly?
The Constitution

is the structural foundation of law and separation of its governing body for the country.
The DoI is the statement made by the colonies to justify the war for separation it waged a year prior to its appearance.
They are two separately considered entities with the former sometimes being interpreted by the latter, but otherwise distinct and totally different both in intent and content.
One lists grievances while the other establishes the rule of law to be employed for the nation.
The Constitution emphatically does not set aside the DoI, as it simply follows as a natural result of what the DoI established; namely, here's why the US will be a separate nation

and here

is how that nation will be governed.
Any relevance the latter may have to the content of our republic is irrelevant.
Either woefully uninformed and belligerently ignorant, this statement clearly reveals a near-complete lack of perspective. The DoI

has been used repeatedly to help interpret the intent of the Constitution since the latter's inception. Why? Because the DoI shows original intent of the framers of the established nation and its subsequent actions. The DoI contains statements and sentiments which--- to this day--- continue to inform/remind us on the basics of human rights.
Like the Constitution, the DoI

has become the conceptual cornerstone for many of the countries which followed the same path toward independence from their ruling parties.
There, that's clear enough that even a halfwit like yourself should be able to grasp it.
What is clear is that you are a troll. Whether or not you believe what you wrote is of speculation: one can only hope that a person possessed with the ability to read, write and form conceptual statements is not as bereft of these truths as you make yourself out to be.
But I don't doubt that your wounded pride will compel you to keep blathering on in your semi-coherent fashion.
It's not a wounded pride which compels me to respond to you.
It's pity.
