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

H.J.Res. 48 proposes an amendment to the U.S. Constitution specifying that constitutional rights belong only to "natural persons" (human beings) and not to "artificial entities" like corporations or labor unions. Under this proposal, the government would have the authority to regulate or prohibit corporate spending in elections, and the judiciary would be barred from defining political spending as a form of protected free speech. For citizens, this would likely result in stricter federal and state laws regarding campaign finance, including mandatory public disclosure of all political contributions and limits on how much candidates can spend on their own campaigns.
