What are the similarities and differences between the Honor Code at MBA and the US Constitution?

The MBA honor code and the US constitution have several similarities and differences. Both of them were created by the people. A group of students created the MBA honor code, not the faculty. It was also just a group of Americans recently free from British rule who would decide how the government of the U.S. would operate. It was also decided that any issue concerning honor would be handled by a council of students only. This differs from the constitution because a person who breaks the law is not punished by ordinary citizens, but is handled by the judicial branch. Both the US constitution and the MBA honor code were created to maintain order and prevent certain things from happening. Everyone knows that people do not behave gentlemanly or honorably all the time, so it is necessary to create institutions such as these to keep them in check.
