What Would Business Life Be Without The Bill Of Rights?

Most parts of the Bill of Rights have a substantial impact on business:

Freedom of speech allows business to promote their products.

One of the keys to why business in this country has been so successful is the fourth amendment protection from unreasonable search and seizure and the fifth amendment due process and private property clauses ensures that people will be willing to invest their money into a business knowing that the government won't be able to "nationalize" it without the business having committed some serious crime. This is one of the reasons why third world nations have remained poor - every time some business has some success and accumulates some wealth the "President/General Dejour" seizes it "in the name of the people" and funnels the proceeds into his Swiss bank account.

The sixth and seventh amendment right to trial by jury is the key to actually providing the protections of the fourth and fifth amendments. A government agency that would seize the assets of a business usually can't do so without a jury of citizens consenting to it.

First off, the bill of rights itself does not have any amendments. The first 10 amendments in the constitution have been collectively called the bill of rights. The bill of rights enables the congress to have the power to lay and gather income tax according to the 16th amendment of the constitution. I think this is the only amendment that has impacted business. For big businesses, to pay enormous amounts of tax on their income affects the costs and the way the business operates. Businesses had to hire employees who would enumerate tax that has to be paid by the business. This amendment has greatly changed the way business operates and has also caused the businessmen to engage in scams related to income tax frauds.
