General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

CERTIORARI TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF
APPEALS FOR THE SECOND CIRCUIT
Syllabus
A corporation remains unchanged and unaffected in its identity by changes in its members, nor does it change its identity by increasing its capital stock, and its legal action is equally binding on itself after such an increase as it was prior thereto.
A corporation should not be allowed to disregard its assent previously given in order to charge a single member with the whole results of a transaction to which the greater part -- in this case, thirteen-fifteenths -- of its stock were parties for the benefit of the guilty and innocent alike.
148 F. 1020 affirmed.
The facts are stated in the opinion.
