Final answer:
The statement that the powers of a corporation cannot be included in the articles of incorporation is False.
Step-by-step explanation:
The provision in question is likely referring to corporate governance which falls under the subject of business law. The statement made is False. Articles of incorporation are a document that establishes a corporation as a separate legal entity and outlines the corporation's basic governance structure, including its purpose, structure, and the limitation or regulation of powers. It is standard practice to include various provisions that can limit or regulate the powers of the corporation in its articles of incorporation. This helps to define the scope of what the corporation is authorized to do and sets up internal guidelines and restrictions for the governance and operations of the corporation.
For example, a specific restriction might be included in the articles to prevent the corporation from engaging in certain types of business activities, or to establish voting thresholds for major decisions that are higher than the minimum required by law.
Looking at some exercises concerning historical constitutional matters can also provide context. The Necessary and Proper Clause typically has been interpreted to expand the power of the national government instead of limiting it.
Similarly, during the Revolutionary Era, women were generally not allowed to vote in any state constitutions, and the Constitutional Convention did indeed meet in 1787 with the aim of revising the Articles of Confederation.
