Legal Question in Constitutional Law in Alaska

Article I, Section 9 states that "No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any ... Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince or foreign State." This doesn't prohibit a citizen, other than a Federal official, from accepting a title. Instead, it does two things and two things only:

1. It prohibits the U.S. government (not a foreign government) from granting a title of nobility.

2. It prohibits a federal official from accepting such a title (without congressional approval).

Section 10 states that "No State shall ... grant any Title of Nobility." Similarly, this doesn't prohibit a private citizen from accepting such a title, it merely prohibits a state (as opposed to a foreign government) from granting one.
