1. Explain the difference between a corporation, a sole proprietorship and a limited liability company. What are the pros and cons of each form of business structure? Is one approach more suited to a small business -vs a large business? What factors would you consider in choosing a type of business structure for operation?
2. Further, many businesses today, as corporate entities, voice their political and social views. Chick-fil-A is an example of prominent views on the issue of gay rights. For this Forum, consider the U.S. Supreme Court case in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, 558 U.S. 310 (2010). (Your Assignment this week is to prepare a case brief of this case. A copy of the case opinion is attached to the Week 3 Assignment.) Focus on the definition of “person” and the First Amendment arguments. What are they? What type of business organization is Citizens United? Do you think this had any bearing on the issue? Should any business have the same First Amendment rights as individual humans? Why or why not?
