We have an idea for a business, so we incorporate and describe our values on that particular subject in the by-laws of the corporation when we do the paperwork. Is it incorrect to say that the two of us together, as a corporation, can be said to have that particular value? If we then run into a situation where the government is trying to force us to do something that contradicts that value, can we not say that our corporation has a value that the government is trying to infringe upon? <br>
