I’ve spun off a thread for a more general discussion since I know so many of you hate to do so. I do this _rarely_ because it would be hard for me to be considered unbiased if it had to be moderated later. But here you go: > [@What Rights and Responsibilities Should Corporations have as Legal "Persons"](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-rights-and-responsibilities-should-corporations-have-as-legal-persons/1033611): > > Continuing the discussion from [Hawaii Seeks to Overturn Citizens United](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/hawaii-seeks-to-overturn-citizens-united/1033603/4): I’ve spun this topic off (per my own moderation!) to allow for a greater discussion of the general rights of corporations in the USA, and of course, the rest of the world. I particularly wanted to examine @RitterSport’s response: Because the legislation establishing corporate “Persons” seems increasingly long in “rights” and very good at avoiding “responsibilities”.
