Is The USA The Only Nation in the World With Corporate Personhood?
February 8, 2012
The concept of Corporate Personhood came from a comment written by a former railroad company president, Bancroft Davis, who, changed jobs to become a Supreme Court Clerk. Davis wrote a headnote that came to be viewed as the key verbiage that led to the setting of precedent on corporate personhood. The case was the 1886 Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad, and did not reflect any judicial opinions or rulings of the justices. Since then, the US courts have accepted that corporations have the same rights as persons as defined by the 14th amendment. See for yourself.
It is not in the Constitution. Tell your Congresspeople to tell the truth about this.
