CORPORATIONS or CITIZENS?


The supreme court is debating whether or not to expand the powers guaranteed to citizens by the constitution to acomodate corporations. This is creating alot of controversy in the political world. Some debators argue that the framers of the constitiution did not intend for corporations to be given the same rights as citizens. Many people believe that the government should not interfere with corporations. Proponents argue that corporations should be protected by the government. We all live under one nation. In my opinion I dont think that corporations should be accomodated by the constitution. Our economy was set up so that corporations could run on their own with little government intervention. If the government guarantees these rights to corporations then it could take away the rights of citizens.
