 The Incorporators Ltd. - General Corporations
Generally, the statute provides that the directors of a corporation are under a duty to perform those functions necessary to manage the corporation within the ordinary scope of its business.
The Delaware Court of Chancery, in discussing what is meant by the phrase "manage a corporation," stated that the "duties of directors are administrative and relate to supervision, direction and control, while the details of the business are delegated to inferior officers, agents and employees, and this is what is meant by management."

 Slavery in Delaware
Delaware began as New Sweden, an abortive attempt by the Swedes to found a colony on the shores of Delaware Bay in the New World.
Still, a few Indian slaves persisted in Delaware until the 1720s, and the presence of a clause in the 1776 state constitution barring transportation of Indian slaves indictes that it was at least considered a possibility at that late date.
Slave importation was finally outlawed in Delaware by the 1776 constitution, in part because the Revolutionary junta led by Rodney and his allies had seized the reins of government, in part because new slaves were no longer needed by this time.

 Delaware League of Local Governments (DLLG)
The Delaware League of Local Governments (DLLG) is a statewide, nonprofit, nonpartisan association of city, town, and county governments established in 1963 to improve and assist local governments through legislative advocacy at the state and federal levels.
