> It is my company, my private property. I should be able to do as I please with it as long as don't mess with other's freedom, this is a constitutional right in the declaration of human rights, private property is sacred.

No you should not, and no, that's really not what the declaration of human rights is about.

When you create a french company your create a “personne morale”, a legal entity, an entity on its own, that is viewed more like a living entity and not like an inanimate object. You do have rights on this entity, but you do also have obligations, not the least of which is to follow the law.

So no, just because you want to you can't employ underage kids for instance.

And just because you want, you can't just fire people at will without reasons.

One could argue that laws could be improved, but that's really not the point you're making.
