Constitutional Rights for Natural Persons Only; Campaign Finance Limits.

This proposed constitutional amendment aims to limit constitutional rights exclusively to natural persons, excluding corporations and other entities. Additionally, it introduces the ability to regulate and limit campaign contributions and expenditures to ensure equal access to the political process for all citizens, regardless of their economic status. This means the influence of money in elections could be significantly reduced, and citizens might have a greater say in politics.
Key points
Constitutional rights would apply only to individuals, not to companies or other organizations.
Governments could limit election spending to ensure every citizen has an equal voice.
Spending money to influence elections would not be considered free speech, allowing for regulation.
