A corporation can have it's charter and business license revoked. I.e., it has no right to life. A corporation has no religious freedom. I.e., it can't use religious beliefs of owners and employees as a reason to not partake in commerce - which is the legal purpose of a business - or to disobey laws, e.g., conscientious objector. A corporation can't spend any time in jail. So, all legal judgments become financial penalties. A corporation can own (and use) restricted weapons rather easily. A corporation can create mortgages, other financial contracts, and charge high rates of interest. etc. > If a corporation were an actual person though, it would be a > sociopath. A corporation is operated by people. If a corporation is a sociopath, that implies those who operate it are also. Are you saying all those people are sociopaths?
