A joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to clarify the authority of Congress and the States to regulate corporations, limited liability companies, and other corporate entities established by the laws of any State, the United States, or any foreign state.
Summary
Senate Joint Resolution 11 proposes an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would clarify that constitutional rights belong only to individual human beings, rather than corporations or other business entities. If passed, this would allow federal and state governments to set stricter regulations on corporate activities, such as political spending, by establishing that corporations do not share the same legal protections as "people" or "citizens." The resolution was introduced in 2021 and referred to a committee for review, but it has not moved forward in the legislative process.
