73. Thank You For Proving My Point, Ma'am
The Constitution was not established by the Congress, or any legislature, so it does not meet the leading definition you have cited. Indeed, it is the Constitution that establishes the Congress, among other things, and gives it authority to write statutes. Your third definition refers to private bodies, not governments, and to items which have no force outside that private body.
