/ 1 min read
Table of Contents
A member of the House of Representatives introduced a bill proposing an amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The text states that the rights protected and extended by the Constitution are the rights of natural persons only.
Why it matters: This action is currently procedural. The bill does not change any existing laws or regulations. It signals an intent to debate the legal status of non-human entities, such as corporations, regarding constitutional rights. Until it passes the committee and the full Congress, it has no legal force.
