How to remotely execute a bash script with an option?

I am attempting to remotely execute a Bash script defined as $CONST_FILE while passing an option to it (in this case -u). Unfortunately for me, the Bash Interpreter assigns my option to ssh instead my script; causing an error as ssh does not have a -u option. The below section of code is causing a problem for me:

(ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -l $CONST_USERNAME $HOST_NAME_LOGIN<$CONST_FILE -u)

In previous Bash scripts, I have been able to execute Bash scripts via the above method so long as I was not passing an option with the script I was attempting to execute.

I have tried various placements of {} "" '' [] and other characters without success. What set of characters do I need in order for the Bash Interpreter to understand that -u needs to be consumed by $CONST_FILE instead of ssh?

The usual way is to use command like this:

ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -l $CONST_USERNAME $HOST_NAME_LOGIN "$CONST_FILE -u"

You can use also format like:

ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no ${CONST_USERNAME}@${HOST_NAME_LOGIN} "$CONST_FILE -u"
