(116,006 posts)nothing to do with the legal court system, which IS gvt.
You are free to continue to confuse "I don't have to pay a tax and get permission from the state, to be allowed to sign" with the gvt not being involved.
You are free to confuse "legally binding and potentially court enforceable" with "do not require the government to approve the participation of the parties. "
You are free to believe "Contracts, while legally binding and potentially court enforceable, do not require the government to approve the participation of the parties" though the gvt does indeed need to approve the participation of the parties. They do it by restricting who can sign for that S-corp. They restrict by age and sobriety (typically) wherein a 5 yr old is not legally able to sign. Or, in most contracts, a person under the influence (though that is often ignored). Many contracts also have residency requirements to make them legal.
The legal system is gvt involvement. Laws are passed by the gvt (well, 1 branch pass laws, another instates them, 3rd rules on them). But they are all gvt involvement.
