Bill > SJRes18

This Joint Resolution proposes an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to clarify that the rights and protections guaranteed by the Constitution apply only to natural persons, not to corporations, limited liability companies (LLCs), or other corporate entities. This means that terms like "people," "person," or "citizen" in the Constitution would no longer be interpreted to include these business structures. The amendment would explicitly state that such corporate entities are subject to regulation by both Congress and the states, as deemed reasonable by elected representatives, and would not limit the fundamental rights of individuals, such as freedom of speech, press, religion, and association. This proposal aims to address the ongoing debate about whether corporations should possess constitutional rights, particularly in areas like political spending, by reinforcing the idea that these rights belong to individuals.
