Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States providing that the rights protected and extended by the Constitution are the rights of natural persons only.

Key Points

• This proposed constitutional amendment would strip corporations and all other artificial entities of constitutional rights, reserving those protections exclusively for natural persons (human beings). Governments at every level would gain full authority to regulate corporate activity without those entities claiming constitutional protections.
• The amendment would empower federal, state, and local governments to set strict limits on all political contributions and spending, including a candidate's own money, to ensure equal political access regardless of wealth. It explicitly states that courts cannot treat campaign spending as protected speech under the First Amendment.
• All permissible political contributions and expenditures would need to be publicly disclosed, ending dark money in elections. This transparency requirement would apply at every level of government.
• The amendment includes a carve-out to protect freedom of the press, ensuring that news organizations can continue operating without their editorial and reporting activities being restricted by the new limits on corporate constitutional rights.
