The First Amendment to the US Constitution:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of
speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to
assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Read the rest of the First Amendment for more.

By hiding positive reviews Yelp is abridging reviewers freedom of speech.

13th Amendment

Amendment XIII
Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the
party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United
States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Section 2.Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

By not letting businesses withdraw from their site, Yelp is violating the 13th amendment. Yelp is forcing businesses into involuntary servitude on a website from which US citizens wish to withdraw.

Yelp is Judge, Jury and Hangman; punishing businesses for crimes they have NOT committed without the benefit of Due Process.

#1 Consumer Comment

Doesn't Apply

AUTHOR: Jim S - Anaheim (United States of America)

The 1st and 13th amendments apply to government and public settings.  A privately owned website can and will apply restrictions to your postings, and have the right to remove postings at their discretion.....



Now that you don't have the Constitution to stand on, maybe you can detail why Yelp is not allowing you to post responses to someone who bad mouthed you.  Maybe contacting Yelp would help you instead of coming here.....?  Best of luck to you....

AUTHOR: Monica - Vancouver (United States of America)
