The Corporate Law Fund
| |
The projects in this fund
challenge the legal rights and powers that corporations have arrogated over
the years. Many of these projects focus on corporations' status as full
persons, obtained via an 1886 U.S. Supreme Court ruling based on
the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which was ratified to protect
the rights of freed slaves.
