Exactly. A bunch of rich old men signed a piece of paper 250 years before you were born, so you have to abide by it. But if you were born a few miles away (*i.e. "another country"), you may be subject to an entirely diffferent set of laws which were also created by a bunch of old men centuries before you were born.

There is only one law. Natural law. The Declaration of Independence was premised on this fact. Then that document was completely ignored just seven years after it's creation, and some of those who ignored it were the signers of the DoI itself.

"Government by the consent of the governed" indeed.
