Halaman 44 - A private corporation, whether civil or eleemosynary, is a contract between the government and the corporators ; and the legislature cannot repeal, impair, or alter the rights and privileges conferred by the charter, against the consent, and without the default of the corporation, judicially ascertained and declared.1 This great principle of constitutional law was settled in the case of Dartmouth College v.
