Corporate Personhood and American Democracy: A Natural Remedy
William Matthew McCarter
Abstract
Recent court cases such as "Citizens United" have ignited the debate about whether or not corporations are "persons." The issue of personhood reveals the rights and responsibilities the corporation does and should have in our society. This essay looks at legal precedence to address whether or not corporations should have personhood, and if so, what the consequences of such a designation would be.
