Corporations used to have to justify their charter by showing how their enterprise helped society. And charters were temporary. Now corporations have more rights than humans and people who have corporations are nigh untouchable by law for their crimes and civil torts.
There's no justification for this. A sufficiently ethical government could rein in corporations tomorrow.
