Hofstra Law Review
Abstract
The article focuses on reevaluating the historical role of corporations, highlighting their original purpose of improving governance rather than just liability protection or property management. It explores how early scholars saw corporations as entities with legislative authority. It further argues for returning to this governmental perspective, shedding new light on corporate history and their connection to constitutional government.
