@condret @theorytoe I like the idea of corporations being able to have a "constitution" that limits what they can do.
The US concept of a "public benefit corporation" comes close, but IIRC their "charters" that define what they see as in the public benefit don't have actual teeth. They can't be sued for failing to uphold them. The only thing that's different about them compared to normal companies IIRC is that they don't have as much of a fiduciary duty to their shareholders.
