Corporations have First Amendment rights. The Supreme Court has held repeatedly that the First Amendment's protections apply to organizations as well as individuals — that corporations can engage in political speech, associate for expressive purposes, and resist compelled speech and compelled disclosure just as natural persons can. These rights are real, judicially enforceable, and practically critical for every business that faces government mandates to speak or remain silent. The Constitutional Corporate and Business Rights Warrior is Volume LXVII of Wayne Richard Evangelista's Constitutional Law Series, delivering the complete practitioner's guide to constitutional rights for corporations and business entities. Wayne Richard Evangelista covers the full corporate constitutional rights landscape: the First Amendment corporate speech doctrine from First National Bank v. Bellotti through Citizens United v. FEC and McCutcheon v. FEC; the Central Hudson four-part test for commercial speech and the growing movement toward strict scrutiny after Sorrell v. IMS Health and Matal v. Tam; compelled commercial speech and the Zauderer framework; compelled disclosure of donors and contributors after Americans for Prosperity Foundation v. Bonta; NIFLA v. Becerra's protection of professional speech; corporate religious rights under Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. v. Burwell and Little Sisters of the Poor; corporate due process rights; corporate property rights and the Takings Clause; corporate equal protection; and the corporate right to contract free from discriminatory government interference under Section 1981. For every business lawyer who fights for the constitutional rights of organizational clients against government overreach, this is the essential reference.
