Bill > SJR4

This Joint Resolution respectfully asks the United States Congress to convene a constitutional convention, a process outlined in Article 5 of the U.S. Constitution, for the specific and limited purpose of proposing an amendment to the Constitution. The proposed amendment aims to clarify that corporations, which are legal entities created by governments, should not have the same rights as individual people, particularly in the context of elections and political speech. It also seeks to establish that money itself is not considered speech and can be regulated by law, addressing concerns stemming from the Supreme Court's decision in *Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission* (2010), which affirmed that corporations have First Amendment rights to political spending. This resolution serves as a continuing request until enough states have made similar applications for a convention focused solely on these campaign finance issues.
