In 1819, the Supreme Court decided a case that would shape American law for centuries: Dartmouth College v. Woodward. At its heart was a bitter power struggle between the college's trustees and the New Hampshire state legislature, which had rewritten the school's charter in an attempt to bring it under public control. The case pitted the aging founder's son against a rising political machine, and it drew in the most celebrated lawyers of the era, including Daniel Webster, who delivered a legendary closing argument that moved Chief Justice John Marshall to tears. The Court's ruling established that a corporate charter is a contract protected by the Constitution, and it set a precedent for corporate personhood that echoes into modern debates over campaign finance and constitutional rights. Lucas and Luna explore the backstory—the original 1769 charter from King George III, the religious and political factions in New Hampshire, the role of Federalist anxieties after the War of 1812, and the legacy of a decision that made corporations more powerful than the states that created them. #DartmouthCollegeCase #JohnMarshall #DanielWebster #CorporatePersonhood #ContractsClause #NewHampshire #WilliamHWoodward #EleazarWheelock #JohnWheelock #FederalistParty #USSupremeCourt #EarlyRepublic #1819 #ConstitutionalLaw #History #FexingoHistory #LegalHistory #AmericanHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
