Synopsis

This is a provocative and essential work of legal scholarship in which Henry N. Butler and Larry Ribstein tackle the fraught intersection of corporate America and constitutional law, advancing a groundbreaking contractual theory of the corporation to argue for stronger protection of corporate political speech, commercial speech, and business activity, reframing today's fiercest debates over corporate governance, interest groups, and corporate political activity within the deeper traditions of American republicanism, democracy, and civil rights, and challenging readers to rethink just how much constitutional weight the modern corporation truly deserves. 


 The authors relate current arguments to traditional ideas of republicanism and democracy and compare them with the Revolution, Civil War, and civil rights and suffrage movements.
