MS HC22

Requests the United States Congress to call a constitutional convention under Article V for the sole purpose of proposing an amendment to abolish the concept of corporate personhood.

Urges the legislative bodies of all states to apply to Congress to call such a convention for proposing this constitutional amendment.

Argues that the Supreme Court's interpretation of corporations as "persons" entitled to constitutional protections intended for human beings has undermined democratic self-governance and enabled unlimited corporate spending in elections.

Contends that corporations are human-made legal creations that should remain subservient to human beings and governments, and should not possess civil and political rights guaranteed to human persons.

Directs the Mississippi Legislature to transmit copies of this resolution to the President of the U.S. Senate, the Speaker of the U.S. House, Mississippi's congressional delegation, and the presiding officers of all state legislatures.
