“the US founders had a healthy fear of corporations after being exploited for years by those in England. As a result, they only granted select corporate charters, mainly to those that were beneficial to society as a whole. For the better part of the first 100 years of US history, the power of corporations was severely limited as owners could not own any stock or property, make financial donations to a political party, and legislators could dissolve a corporation at any time relatively easily."
