The 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America should be rewritten to specify that the "persons" being granted civil rights are ONLY "natural" or "human" persons. Corporations are to be redefined as the original meaning of "corporate " or "artificial" persons, i.e., corporations are only granted personhood for the purpose of creating legal entities that can form and enter into legally binding contracts. Corporations are specifically NOT granted the same civil rights as human beings, nor are their boards of directors exempted from being held criminally liable for egregious actions leading to the deaths of humans and/or the destruction of property. As long as corporations are granted the possession of "religious conscience," they can also be held liable for punitive damages in civil procedures for the guilt of "malice."
Why is this important?
The current, erroneously written 14th Amendment, created largely by railroad executives, went against what had been the previous American standard, based upon English common law, to carefully differentiate between "natural" or "human" persons and "artificial" or "corporate" persons when creating laws. The failure to differentiate between humans and corporations has perverted our entire political system.
