Mariana [72]3 years ago
7 0
<span>It was passed in 1701 to resolve the issue of succession to the English and Irish thrones of the Electress Sophia of Hanover and her successors who are non-Catholics. This act was pressed by the inability of King Wiliam III and Queen Mary II as well as Queen Anne who was Mary’s sister to give birth to an heir.  Sophia’s line was Protestant her son became King George I and started the Hanoverian Dynasty. This happened after the death of Queen Anne in August 1714.  The act played an important role in the establishment of a King of Great Britain, England and Scotland that now had a shared ruler since 1603 but continued as individual governing countries.</span>

What were supreme courts views on corporation rights in late 1880s
Tomtit [17]

Corporate personhood is the legal notion that a corporation, separately from its associated human beings (like owners, managers, or employees), has at least some of the legal rights and responsibilities enjoyed by natural persons (physical humans).[1] In the United States and most countries, corporations have a right to enter into contracts with other parties and to sue or be sued in court in the same way as natural persons or unincorporated associations of persons. In a U.S. historical context, the phrase 'Corporate Personhood' refers to the ongoing legal debate over the extent to which rights traditionally associated with natural persons should also be afforded to corporations. A headnote issued by the Court Reporter in the 1886 Supreme Court case Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad Co. claimed to state the sense of the Court regarding the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment as it applies to corporations, without the Court having actually made a decision or issued a written opinion on that point. This was the first time that the Supreme Court was reported to hold that the Fourteenth Amendment's equal protection clause granted constitutional protections to corporations as well as to natural persons, although numerous other cases, since Dartmouth College v. Woodward in 1819, had recognized that corporations were entitled to some of the protections of the Constitution. In Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. (2014), the Court found that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 exempted Hobby Lobby from aspects of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act because those aspects placed a substantial burden on the closely held company's owners' exercise of free religion.[2]
