CORPORATE PERSONHOOD IS OVERTURNED WITH THE CHEVRON DOCTRINE, NOW THE PEOPLE CAN BE THE GOVERNMENT
the concept of corporate personhood, where corporations are legally considered as "persons" with certain rights, is generally considered to have taken significant shape in the United States following the 1886 Supreme Court case "Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad," where the court appeared to extend Fourteenth Amendment protections to corporations, although the Constitution does not explicitly mention corporations having such rights.
The first American corporations were developed in the 1790s, but the laws that govern corporations vary by state. Here's some information about corporations and their legal history:
California statutes have been in existence since the state's first legislature met in 1849–50. The first law signed by California's first governor was the Act Concerning the Public Archives, which was Chapter 1 of the Statutes of 1850.
The California State Legislature and the Governor enact California Statutes, which are then codified into the California Codes. The first four codes were enacted in 1872, but the rest of the statutes were not codified until 1953.
The California State Archives is the repository for the state's permanent governmental records, including legislative committee records. The Archives also houses other materials that document California history.
The California Statute-to-Bill Numbers tool provides information on California statutes and their corresponding bill numbers dating back to 1865.
