When the Founding Fathers signed the Constitution in 1787, less than six percent of Americans could claim their rights as legal persons. A hundred years later, the Supreme Court recognized personhood rights for corporations while denying those rights to the majority of actual human beings living in the U.S.

• How have corporations gained constitutional rights? Through unelected Courts without a democratic process.
