Does a corporation have the right to free speech?
Yet the word “corporation” appears nowhere in the constitution or Bill of Rights. “It is scarcely conceivable that the drafters of the constitution had anything resembling corporate entities in mind when they drafted the Bill of Rights,” argue Robert Monks, a veteran corporate-governance activist, and Peter Murray, in a recent essay. All the individuals with a stake in a company have the right to express their views freely, the argument goes, so there is no need for the legal fiction of the corporate person to have such rights.
there are lots of things that appear nowhere in the Constitution or Bill of Rights. That doesn’t seem to concern those more focused on the power gained than the freedom maintained. also: corporations have better lawyers than most individuals (ostensibly because they need them more). :(
