One-Share-One-Vote

Definition:

The principle that all Common Shares in a Public Company must have equal voting power. The SEC’s Rule 19c-4 (which prohibited transactions that disenfranchised existing shareholders by implementing dual-class recapitalizations) was overturned by the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals in Business Roundtable v. SEC in 1990.
