Practice question: Corporate Powers

Multiple Choice Medium Jurisprudence

Practice question

A corporation invokes section 35(g)'s property-dealing power to buy an asset in violation of an applicable constitutional restriction. Does the general corporate power itself eliminate that restriction?
  1. Yes; corporate registration overrides the Constitution.
  2. No; the subsection expressly subjects property powers to legal and constitutional limitations.
  3. Yes; any profitable purchase is necessarily lawful.
  4. Yes; an articles clause can repeal the restriction.
  5. No; because corporations may never own any property.
