Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Dave Winer has suggested this occasionally, e.g. for Micro Soft.
What does it mean? How would one implement it? Is it appropriate, or does it punish the relatively-innocent workers more than the managers? (On the other hand, that might make workers take more responsibility for the ethics of the organization they join...)
[Michael Fraase] points to$132 a pamphlet called Taking Care of Business which discusses the act of revoking a corporate charter.
If you're against human [Death Penalty], should you be against a Corporate Death Penalty? Not necessarily, since the Corporation Is A Person metaphor is rather weak.
Maybe settle for Ostrac Ism?
