There is no historical connection between US law and the Ten Commandments, and none of the Ten Commandments is really found in the laws of the United States. The constitutional requirement for separation of state and religion preclude inclusion of the first three commandments, which require believers to worship God only, or the fourth, which requires religious observance of the Sabbath. The fifth commandment tells us to honour our parents, which is a commandment more about family relations than law.
The next four commandments are concerned with prohibiting murder, adultery, theft and false witness, but only as general statements. The tenth commandment can be defined as dealing with protecting property rights because it tells us not to covet the property of our neighbour, but it does not tell us how to sue a person just for thinking these things.
United States law is based on the principles of British common law, law of tort and legislation passed by Congress and at all times subject to change by the Congress - it is not based on the Ten Commandments.
