The Constitution is a document stating our basic laws which were inspired in part by the Ten Commandants.

Here's the Constitution.

Please show me what part was inspired by the Ten Commandments? The Constitution itself (the Articles) are not "laws" in the simple respect... it is the framework of the national government, and the responsibility, authority and limitations of that government in respect to it's member states.

If we want to talk about the amendments in terms of the Ten Commandments, I'd say that the 1st Amendment is the complete opposite in intention of the 1st Commandment. It basically says that if you want to worship a Golden Calf, Congress will not interfere with your choice or force you to worship or support any particular faith.

Doesn't say that at all. All it says is that no one (of the Christian churches) ie Catholic, protestant, Anglican, will have favor over the other. It's freedom OF religion, not FROM religion. And government will not interfere with the church.
