const object is always static  so this both cannot be achieved. Reference : MSDN All constants declarations are implicitly static and the C# specification states that the (redundant) inclusion of the static modifier is prohibited. I believe this is to avoid the confusion which could occur if a reader were to see two constants one declared static and one not – they could easily assume that the difference in specification implied a difference in semantics. Having said that there is no prohibition on redundantly specifying an access modifier which is also the default one where there is a choice. For instance a (concrete) method can be explicitly marked as private despite that being the default. The rule appears to be that where there is no choice (e.g. a method declaration in an interface) the redundant modifier is prohibited. Where there is a choice it’s allowed. Mark as answer if helpful.
