I think that is usually called "positive law" (as in, law which has been posited by human forces), not "public law." I admit I don't know much about Kant. I do know he was into the autonomous morality and reason of the individual, so he probably wouldn't support communism. However, he was also against democracy: he said it was a form of majority rule that threatened individual liberty. I don't know if he said anything about the American Constitution. It was only created 15 years or so before he died, so maybe he wasn't in the game at that point.
