Corporations sell commercial products; products people want to trade for something of their worth.[1]
Origin
Although people before the rise of cities were already trading everything... the creation of money and slaves created proper large scale markets and corporations starting around the 1300s.[2]
The extension of the Fourteenth Amendment of the US constitution - covering citizenship rights, due process, and equal protection - to corporations as legal “"persons" was first done in an 1880 California case. Late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century US Supreme Court decisions showed a marked friendliness to the idea of corporate personhood, and became a major shield against state regulation for corporations.[3]
Function
"Runaway corporate power has become so unchained that “outside” campaign spending by influence groups often exceeds the spending of the candidates. Worse, our current Supreme Court allows spending to be anonymous, depriving Americans of basic information to do their job as citizens at election-time".[4]
Consolidation
As money has become increasingly important, and has the power to change mass scale daily societies, certain corporations have been seized by individuals this site links as deep state operatives.
