The United States Constitution has been governing our way of life for over 200 years. Throughout its time, it has been viewed in many ways to make our lives easier. It has been the legal structure of our political system, establishing governmental bodies, determining how their members are selected, and prescribing the rules by which they make their decisions. From the start, the United States has established a policy of being a free land, one in which the inhabitants can say what they want, do what they want and feel what they want. The founding fathers realized this was the primary basis for people coming to this country. People in this country were free and that freedom continues today.
Today, we are still free to feel, act, say and do whatever we want within some defined parameters. Some of those limits are set before us with the following questions: What is private? What is right? What if you offend someone? Today, US citizens are free, but where are the lines drawn? How do you know if you have crossed that line?

Role of the United States Constitution
This essay begins with a series of sweeping generalizations about the role of the Constitution in American life. Sadly, these statements are largely cliches and sweeping generalizations of little value to the reader.
When the paper turns to the discussion of the role of the government in regulating business, the writer completely overlooks a critical step: the Constitution allowed the government to regulate business, but it did not directly dictate the terms of that regulation.
As for the case of the woman complaining of discrimination, again, her complaint does not rely on the Constitution, but on one of the employment discrimination laws. Notably, these laws rest on powers granted by the fourteenth, not the thirteenth amendment. In addition to fatally flawed analysis, the discussion of this situation is painfully redundant. In short, this essay has such serious flaws as to be of very little value.
