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
S.J.Res. 3 proposes an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would establish that constitutional rights belong only to "natural persons" (human beings) rather than corporations or other legal entities. By clarifying that terms like "people" and "citizen" do not include corporate bodies, the resolution would grant Congress and state legislatures the explicit authority to regulate the activities and spending of corporations. If enacted, this would allow for stricter oversight of corporate influence in the political process and clarify that businesses are subject to regulations determined by elected representatives.
