Constitutional Rights Paper
Each person has constitutional rights in the United States. Both employees and business owners alike have rights. There is a very fine line in business when it comes to rights and what lines an employee can cross and the lines that an employer can cross. When it comes to legality it is important that managers and supervisors alike understand how to operate a business within the legal guidelines. This paper will walk through the constitutional rights as it relates to the business of Smith System Consulting and their employees.
When it comes to privacy at Smith Systems Consulting (SSC) there is a very fine line with their employees. SSC deals with helping clients build websites, databases, computer systems, Internet protocol et cetera. Since SSC deals with sensitive information, privacy with their clients is at the forefront of what they believe in.
The company believes in privacy and protecting information also teaches their clients how to protect information as well. Considering that the employees handle sensitive information keeping their emails and day-to-day workflow activities a secret walks a fine line.

Constitutional Rights Paper
This essay purports to discuss constitutional rights of employer and employee. However, the Constitution does not apply directly to a private employer. By its terms, the First Amendment states, "Congress shall make no law. . . . " and the private employer is not Congress, or any other part of the government. The law comes into play only because of the various civil rights acts, and these are a far cry from the Constitution. They prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, national origin, and religion.
As to privacy, what an employee does in the workplace is, by definition, not private. There is no right to privacy in a company-created E-mail system.
Further, race, religion, national origin, and the like have very little to do with speech. An employer generally can fire an employee for saying anything the employer does not like. And there is no right of free speech involved.
