4. Dartmouth College v. Woodward

^snip^


The Supreme Court of the United States (Dartmouth College v. Woodward, 1819), recognized corporations as having the same rights as natural persons to contract and to enforce contracts



This court expanded on a previous ruling. They are not really the ones who started this insanity.
