The Corporation's Vade Mecum of Constitutional Rights

Article Abstract:

Argument as to what government control should be exercised over corporations has centered on two views. These are - the concession theory of the corporation getting its existence from the state - and the inherence theory that the corporation's existence is based on private agreement. In this context, the Supreme Court decisions on the constitutional rights of corporations for the past one hundred eighty years are reviewed. It appears that the Court has failed to develop a general rationale but instead has decided these cases on an ad hoc basis.
