- stvswn 11y agoNo, they're not "legally people," they're "legal persons," and that was true before Citizens United. They are capable of suing and being sued, and capable of committing crimes. Under the doctrine of respondeat superior, a corporation may be held criminally liable for the illegal acts of its directors, officers, employees, and agents.
- Outdoorsman 11y agoI believe you are correct: The legal doctrine of respondeat superior is recognized in both common law and civil law...it translates, from the Latin, as "let the master answer"... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respondeat_superior https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respondeat_superior
