This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to establish that the rights and privileges protected by the Constitution are exclusively those of natural persons . It explicitly states that artificial entities, such as corporations or limited liability companies, would possess no constitutional rights and would be subject to regulation by the People through federal, state, or local law, with their privileges determined by statute rather than being inherent. The amendment further empowers federal, state, and local governments to regulate and limit campaign contributions and expenditures , including a candidate's own, to ensure all citizens have access to the political process regardless of economic status. This regulation aims to prevent any person from gaining undue influence in elections through financial means. Additionally, it mandates public disclosure of all permissible contributions and expenditures, clarifies that spending money to influence elections is not considered First Amendment speech, and explicitly protects the freedom of the press.
