Jim, the Ten Commandments are not the basis for our Constitution.

1. You shall have no other gods before me.
2. You shall make no idols.
3. You shall not use my name in vain.
4. Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy.
5. Honor your father and mother.

That's the first five, and they have nothing whatsoever to do with our legal code, nor are they commonly agreed upon moral principles. I'd argue that coveting your neighbor's house or wife is also not enshrined anywhere in our law.
