Articles of association - Another name for articles of incorporation, but in the United States the
term articles of association applies to a social, political, mutual-benefit, benevolent or similar

incorporation.

In Great Britain the term articles of association means the table of conditions under which a
joint-stock company is constituted. They apply only to the internal regulations of the company. For
