Write a paper describing in detail your business interests or career plans and how constitutional law applies to them. Build on what you discussed in your introduction on the first discussion board. Describe in detail what kind of business you want to own/operate or what occupational field you want to work in. Then describe at least three ways in which constitutional law applies to your business/field. For example, suppose your business needs property for its operations. You could explain how the constitutional law concept of eminent domain applies here and how it would effect your business. Think about some of the cases we’ve read and how they apply. One eminent domain case is Kelo v. New London. What type of business would qualify for eminent domain? Would yours? Why or why not? (think about the similarities and differences between your business venture and the business involved in Kelo. What type of business venture would you be involved in? Would it be interstate or intrastate commerce? Which level of government would have some power to regulate your business or industry, based on the commerce distinction? Why? These are some suggested areas to look at; feel free to add/substitute others. If you plan to hire employees, you should look think about the Court’s rulings that relate to racial and gender discrimination. For many students, federalism and commerce will be really important.
