Constitution and Business Law's Legal Foundations

If business owners, managers, professionals, and organizations are to function successfully in the dynamic, international world of today, they must be aware of the structure and legal foundations of business law. In the event that the constitution's provisions are broken, the impacted parties may file a civil lawsuit in the appropriate court of law to seek legal redress.

The court issues orders after receiving the complaint informing the defendant of the accusations made and the deadline for responding to them. The offender in the case will take a variety of steps to answer the accusations made against them. These behaviors could include acknowledging, disputing, or claiming ignorance. A judgment is made by the court after receiving both plaintiff and defendant’s submission. Alternative dispute resolution methods such as arbitration, mediation, early neutral evaluation and summary jury trials offer alternative avenues to conflict resolution (Seaquist, 2012).

The 4th amendment of the US Constitution gives its citizens the right to secure themselves and their property against unreasonable searches and seizure. Prior to the 4th amendment contained in the “Bill of Rights” section of the Constitution, Americans were vulnerable to forceful searches of their businesses and seizure of property. (Schulhofer, 2012).

The 4th amendment is pivotal to businesses in the US safeguarding against illegal searches by state agencies and unlawful confiscation of properties. However, the 4th amendment limits businesses by granting the state the power to search and seizer where suspicion of unlawful business activities exists.

In the future, the 4th amendment is likely to play a critical role in civil litigation; advancements in technology has enabled the state to access citizens’ information and data considered private citing national security as the reason for the violations of the 4th amendment.
