The First Amendment to the US Constitution:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of
speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to
assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Read the rest of the First Amendment for more.
By hiding positive reviews Yelp is abridging reviewers freedom of speech.
13th Amendment
Amendment XIII
Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the
party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United
States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Section 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
By not letting businesses withdraw from their site, Yelp is violating the 13th amendment. Yelp is forcing businesses into involuntary servitude on a website from which US citizens wish to withdraw.
Yelp is Judge, Jury and Hangman; punishing businesses for crimes they have NOT committed without the benefit of Due Process.
