Generally, when people remember that Delaware exists it’s for two boring and embarrassing things: Joe Biden (who wasn’t even born there) and being where a lot of corporations are. Or is it where all the corporations were? Last year, there was a bit of a kerfuffle in Delaware over a potential exodus of corporations out of the state. The so-called “Dexit” appears to have been somewhat exaggerated, but it made the team here at RIP Corp want to dig a little deeper into the corporation capital of the United States: why is it like that? How does this tiny little state shape corporate law across the country? And how does it affect actual people who live in Delaware?
