Curtail the "People" legal status for corporations

Curtail the "People" legal status for corporations

Corporations are not people and therefore should not be forwarded the right to free speech. Corporations are not citizens and therefore should not be given access to the halls of Congress. Only individual people should be granted free speech and only people should be allowed access to our government

Points

The idea of allowing businesses to incorporate was to limit liability to the extent of the shareholders. This can be done with a limited partnership. It was not to grant corporations human powers and access to government. "We the people..." does not extend to non-persons and corporations are non-persons.
