Abstract

For over 150 years the Supreme Court has answered the question “is a corporation a ‘person’ or a citizen recognized in the Constitution” in the affirmative. Amazingly, the Supreme Court has answered this question affirmatively many times without ever having conducted a critical linguistic analysis and exegesis of the meaning of “person” in the Constitution as a whole. The Supreme Court has answered this question in the affirmative by disregarding, twisting, and distorting the basic rules of English grammar and syntax and that the Court has consistently ignored its own canons of constitutional construction and interpretation. In this article I demonstrate that the Court’s ruling that corporations are persons and citizens subverted the most fundamental constitutional process — that of amending the Constitution. This is the working paper version. The official version can be obtained from journal's website.
