Constitutional Rights for Natural Persons Only; Campaign Finance Regulation.

This proposed amendment aims to limit constitutional rights to natural persons, excluding corporations and other entities. It seeks to ensure that money does not grant disproportionate influence in elections, potentially increasing equal access to the political process for all citizens.
Key points
Constitutional rights would apply only to individuals, not to companies or other organizations.
Companies and organizations would be subject to legal regulation, and their privileges would not be considered inherent.
Governments could limit campaign contributions to ensure all citizens have equal access to politics.
Spending money to influence elections would not be considered free speech, potentially changing campaign finance rules.
