Why we need a Constitutional Amendment against Corporate Personhood

This will take a second. The jurisprudence behind corporate personhood did not come into existence overnight with the Roberts Gang in the Supreme Court and the Citizens United decision. The idea that a corporation is a person and therefore due the rights of a human being under the Bill of Rights finds its roots in post Civil War America. But to explain the whole issue we have to start back still further in our nations history. The Revolutionary War which birthed the United States was as much a war against Royally chartered corporations like the East India Company as it was against British rule.
