What is the difference between bylaws and articles of incorporation?
Bylaws are the rules that govern a group. Generally, bylaws are only meaningful within the community and are only as binding as the community itself makes them. The articles are the primary legal document of a corporation. The articles are filed with the state government to begin corporate existence. Bylaws are not filed with the Secretary of State.
