The board's trying to pull a fast one, huh? Guess they think they're the corporate version of the Harlem Globetrotters or something.

This is a classic case of the board trying to pull a fast one on the shareholders. I'm going with option D - they can't amend the articles without approval!

I know the board has a lot of power, but they can't just do whatever they want without the shareholders having a say. I'd go with option C as the correct answer.

Hmm, I think option B is the right answer here. The board can sell assets, but they need shareholder approval for the big stuff like dissolution or changing the articles.

I agree, option B seems correct. Shareholder approval is needed for major decisions.

This seems tricky. I'm pretty sure the board can sell assets without approval, but dissolving the company or amending the articles would require shareholder approval.

But what about amending the articles of incorporation? Can the board do that without stockholder approval?

I agree with you, Rashad. Dissolving the corporation is a major decision that the board can make on its own.
