"'Corporations Are People' Is Built on an Incredible 19th-Century Lie"

I still wish some pol with a spine would propose a constitutional amendment that simply states, in the eyes of the law, corporations are not people.

How would you write such an amendment so that corporations can still have freedom of the press (to publish newspapers, to support candidates, etc.)?

I'm not sure how this trope got started that the problem was corporate personhood. That's always been the entire point of having a corporation: it has to be a person in the eyes of the law to make contracts or to be sued.
