Constitutional Amendment Proposal: Rights for Natural Persons Only, Corporate Regulation.

This proposed constitutional amendment aims to clarify that constitutional rights belong exclusively to natural persons. Corporations, limited liability companies, and other corporate entities would not be considered 'persons' or 'citizens' under the Constitution. Consequently, Congress and the States would gain clearer authority to regulate these entities, potentially increasing public control over large companies and affecting their political and economic activities.
Key points
Constitutional rights (e.g., free speech) would belong exclusively to natural persons, not corporations or companies.
Corporations and limited liability companies would not be considered 'persons' or 'citizens' under the Constitution.
Congress and the States would gain clearer authority to regulate corporate entities, consistent with the will of the people and their representatives.
