If this is about not allowing any single person to take too much control, I the articles of incorporation can specify the rule of voting by capping voting rights. (Can't think of anything prohibiting this, but I may be wrong.) | |

However such restrictions have a serious impact on the willingness of other people to invest and thus on the price. | |
