Corporate “personhood” is entirely a creation of SCOTUS’s interpretation of what? Not the US Constitution nor its 27 amendments in which the word “corporation” does not appear once .
Before the Civil War, southern agricultural capital gave counterweight to northern industrial and the South had a fair hand in composing the SC. The question of corporate personhood began to arise post-bellum after the USG was firmly in the hands of northern banks and industrial interests and in 1889 the SC finally ruled that corporations are people.
Oh, the irony of it all. The corporation “lost” the suit but for the price of 3 hogs, ($24 … where has that number appeared before?) corporations were awarded personhood.
