	Text form: [[http://celdf.org/-1-86 Legal Defense Fund]] Since the early 1800s, corporations have gained "rights" and protections under the United States Constitution. While we never find the word “corporation” in the Constitution, corporations are able to invoke constitutional “rights” and protections under the Commerce Clause and Contracts Clause, as well as under the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments. These pages/videos share the history, as well as what people are doing to challenge these court-bestowed "rights".

	A more comprehensive look at the history of corporations and corporate law than the CELDF video above. The above videos are focused on the enacting laws at the local level and how corporate law impacts municipal control. "The Corporation", is more of a national/international treatise, which doesn't promote a specific solution, but rather aims to educate, so that we actually understand WHY corporations have the rights that they have, and why the rights should be deemed illegal.
