Constitutional Rights for Natural Persons Only; New Election Finance Rules
A proposed amendment to the U.S. Constitution aims to limit constitutional rights exclusively to natural persons, excluding corporations and other entities. Additionally, it introduces new rules for election campaign financing to ensure equal access to the political process for all citizens, regardless of their economic status. This seeks to reduce the influence of money in elections and increase transparency in funding.
