How do the ten amendments of the bill of rights protect individuals?

What is the role of government in a laissez-fair economic system?
The role of the government is very limited. The literal translation from French is "let be". The government in this system strictly provides a legal system where property rights and contracts can be enforced. Past that, the government is not involved in economic activity. Transactions are free from taxes, tariffs, regulations, etc. This system has never truly existed anywhere because, obvioiusly, the existence of government to provide a legal system requires taxes of some sort to be collected. So, in practical terms, it refers to a system where the government interferes with commerce as little as possible.

Could members of medieval guilds hold public office?
The question of whether guild members could hold public office was very largely dependent on the place where the person lived. There was not much uniformity of laws in the Middle Ages, and where one city might be ruled by nobility, there were others that were governed by people of the middle class, and there were a few that were governed by clergy. In the medieval communes and certain other cities, it was possible that a guild or group of guilds actually controlled the government, and that guild membership was required to be able to participate in the town or city legislature.
What were some of the problems of the national government under the articles of the confederation?
1. I am not sure if this is correct, but this is what I found through my own search. A few problems with the kind of government set up by the Articles of Confederation included the following. Firstly, the larger states had more power in congress than the smaller states, which led to manipulation because the larger states could use their authority to make other states help pay of that one state's debt. This was possible because they could vote it so since they represented the majority of the population. Also, each state had a different currency which made trade almost impossible. Another point is that since the states were governed all relied on one another to be a successful nation, to produce, sell, and afford necessities to thrive on, they were not independent making them each vulnerable and therefore creating a generally weak government.
Who is the head government of belgium?
Technically, Belgium currently does not have a government because the possible governing parties, as selected by the executive, have failed to form viable coalitions in parliament, so they did not end up making a government. However, it is not true that Belgium is not being governed, since a care-taker government holds the reins of power until such time as a viable majority can control parliament.
