A market economy is a type of economic system where supply and demand regulate the economy, rather than government intervention. A true free market economy is an economy in which all resources are owned by individuals. The decisions about the allocation of those resources are made by individuals without government intervention. There are no completely "free-enterprise" or market economies. The United States has more characteristics of a market economy than a command economy, where a government controls the market. In a market economy, the producer gets to decide what to produce, how much to produce, what to charge customers for those goods, and what to pay employees. These decisions in a free-market economy are influenced by the pressures of competition, supply, and demand.
 
2     One of the most important characteristics of a market economy, also called a free enterprise economy, is the role of a limited government. Most economic decisions are made by buyers and sellers, not the government. A competitive market economy promotes the efficient use of its resources. It is a self-regulating and self-adjusting economy. No significant economic role for government is necessary. However, a number of limitations and undesirable outcomes associated with the market system result in an active, but limited economic role for government.
 
3     In a market economy, almost everything is owned by individuals and private businesses- not by the government. Natural and capital resources like equipment and buildings are not government-owned. The goods and services produced in the economy are privately owned. This private ownership, combined with the freedom to negotiate legally binding contracts, permits people to obtain and use resources as they choose.
 
4     A market economy has freedom of choice and free enterprise. Private entrepreneurs are free to get and use resources and use them to produce goods and services. They are free to sell these goods and services in markets of their choice. Consumers are free to buy the goods and services that best fill their wants and needs. Workers are free to seek any jobs for which they are qualified.
 
5     A market economy is driven by the motive of self-interest. Consumers have the motive of trying to get the greatest benefits from their budgets. Entrepreneurs try to get the highest profits for their businesses. Workers try to get the highest possible wages and salaries. Owners of capital resources try to get the highest possible prices from the rent or sale of their resources. This "invisible hand" of self-interest is the driving force of a market economy.
 
6     Competition is another important characteristic of a market economy. Instead of government regulation, competition limits abuse of economic power by one business or individual against another. Each competitor tries to further his own self-interest. This economic rivalry means that buyers and sellers are free to enter or leave any market. It also means that buyers and sellers are acting independently in the marketplace. When businesses compete for customers, they want to sell their goods or services at the lowest possible price while still earning a profit for themselves. Consumers compete for goods and services. If the supply of a needed good or service is low, the consumer must pay a higher price. Consumers must compete to get goods or services by paying more or going out of their way to buy the products they need or want.
 
7     A system of markets and prices working together are the structure of a market economy, not the central planning by government. A market brings buyers and sellers together. The wants of buyers and sellers are registered on the supply and demand sides of various markets. The outcome of these choices is a system of product and resource prices. Prices are the guideposts on which buyers and sellers make and revise their free choices in furthering their self-interests.

How does the bill of rights ensure the basic rights and freedoms of americans?
nasty-shy [4]

On July 4, 1776, thirteen British American colonies declared themselves independent from the British Empire. The most famous statement in the Declaration of Independence is that which asserted certain basic rights for every man:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Just how does the U.S. Constitution, the nation’s highest law, enable each of us to enjoy those rights?

The original Constitution—completed September 17, 1787—didn’t directly address individual rights. Its purpose was to establish a strong government in the wake of the failed Articles of Confederation, which was our country’s first governmental plan. The Constitution consists of seven articles that address legislative power, executive power, judicial power, states’ power, amendments, federal power and ratification.

Here are five parts of the Constitution that support and protect our individual rights and freedoms:

The Bill of Rights – The Bill of Rights was introduced by James Madison (the fourth president) in 1789 and became the first 10 Constitutional Amendments in 1791. The Bill of Rights defines the following rights:

<span>Freedom of speech, press, religion and petition.Right to keep and bear arms.Protection from quartering of soldiers.Protection from unreasonable search and seizure.Right to due process of the law.Right to trial by jury, speedy trial, public trial, counsel.Right to civil trial by jury.Prohibition of excessive bail and cruel and unusual punishment.Protection of rights not enumerated in the Constitution.Protection of the powers of the states and the people.</span>

<span>Amendment 14: Citizenship rights </span>– This amendment, ratified in 1868, gives the right to citizenship to anyone born in the U.S. It also gives citizens the right to equal protection of the national and state laws, the right to be free of any law that deprives a person of life, liberty or property without due process.

<span>Amendment 15: Voting rights </span>– This amendment, ratified in 1870, gave people the right to vote, regardless of race or color.

Amendment 19: Women’s voting rights – This amendment, ratified in 1920, gave all citizens the right to vote, regardless of sex.

Amendment 26: Voting age – This amendment, ratified in 1971, gave all citizens age 18 or older the right to vote.

Even 225 years later, our Constitution and its Amendments continue to protect our rights and freedoms as American citizens. Thanks to the foresight of our Founding Fathers, we have the great fortune of living in a country that upholds our civil liberties through democracy.
