- code_duck 15y agoThe basis of corporate law is that a corporation is considered to be an individual in certain respect - hence the root of the word. A corporation is given certain rights and responsibilities that a natural person would have.
- palish 15y agoI never noticed that "corporation" is so close to "corporeal".
- yummyfajitas 15y agoOne example: people often advocate for restrictions on "corporate" speech (or more precisely, the right of the corporations owners to use their property for expressive purposes) on the grounds that a corporation isn't a human and therefore doesn't deserve freedom of speech.
- SamReidHughes 15y agoBut of course corporations don't deserve freedom of speech. They use their speech to influence the electoral process. When G.E. runs ads supporting candidates, they undermine the principles of democracy. Except for the New York Times, NBC, the ACLU, and all the others whose speech I often agree with, corporate rights should be tightly controlled and regulated, and you should only be able to create corporations that create speech that legislators can deal with.
