To provide a meaningful answer, I would need more specific information about the actions you are referring to. The U.S. Constitution sets forth the framework of the federal government and establishes the rights of citizens, and it includes various amendments that protect individual liberties. However, the Constitution itself does not provide an exhaustive list of specific actions that are "forbidden."

Certain actions might be subject to constitutional scrutiny, and the Supreme Court may interpret the Constitution to determine their legality. Examples of actions that could be forbidden or restricted by the Constitution include:


  1. Unreasonable Search and Seizure: The Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures by the government.
  2. Denial of Due Process: The Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments guarantee due process of law, ensuring fair treatment by the government in legal proceedings.
  3. Cruel and Unusual Punishment: The Eighth Amendment prohibits cruel and unusual punishment.
  4. Freedom of Speech Restrictions: The First Amendment protects the freedom of speech, and the government is generally prohibited from restricting speech based on content.
  5. Discrimination: The Fourteenth Amendment prohibits the denial of equal protection under the law, and various federal laws address discrimination on the basis of race, gender, religion, and other factors.
