The law is there to prevent people from being vengeful.

I was "forced to resign" from a job because the boss didn't like me (mainly because I wasn't a sycophant). I wouldn't want that boss being interviewed by a potential future employer and giving his opinion of me. I was always on time, I did my job well but I simply would NOT kiss his ass.

It's also NOT a good idea to try to hide previous employment status on a resumé. So as a job hunter you'd be stuck between a rock and a hard place if the law wasn't in place.

Ignorance of the law is never an excuse in the U.S. So even if you "unknowingly" gave a bad review to a prospective employer you'd still be liable.
