History

1. Private Property. Most goods and services are privately-owned. The owners can make legally-binding contracts to buy, sell, or lease their property. In other words, their assets give them the right to profit from ownership. But U.S. law excludes some assets. Since 1865, you cannot buy and sell human beings. That includes you, your body, and your body parts.

(Source: "Market Economy," University of Auburn.)

2. Freedom of Choice. Owners are free to produce, sell and purchase goods and services in a competitive market. They only have two constraints. First, is the price at which they are willing to buy or sell. Second is the amount of capital they have.

3.

Motive of Self-Interest. Everyone sells their wares to the highest bidder while negotiating the lowest price for their purchases. Although the reason is selfish, it benefits the economy over the long run. That's because this auction system sets prices for goods and services that reflect their market value. It gives an accurate picture of supply and demand at any given moment.

Answer:

The Constitution

It started with a constitutional convention

to produce a living document with just the right amount of tension

between the rights of states and the power of the confederation.

The drafters wanted both working parts and a functioning nation.

Approved in 1781, 16 delegates decided to decline

But a majority of 55 were willing to sign.

The Bill of Rights was added in order to define

those inalienable rights that we should never try to malign.

The constitution has a handful of parts

The preamble is at the start

Then comes the 13 articles at the heart.

The Bill of Rights gives the amendment process a jump start.

The remaining amendments are important too.

Many would like to add amendments, but it’s quite hard to do.

Three-fourths of state legislatures must approve.

Thousands have been proposed but only 27 made it through.

Our living constitution is our Republic’s cornerstone

It has served our needs as the country as grown.

Though I wish the judges would rely on it alone.

This document should definitely be better known!
