 +=== Proposal for Constitutional Amendment S.9 === 
 + 
 +SECTION 1. Corporations are not people and may be regulated. The rights afforded to the human inhabitants of this Commonwealth,​ under this Constitution,​ are not applicable to any corporation,​ corporate entity, or artificial person. Any references to persons, citizens, inhabitants,​ subjects, men, women, people, individuals,​ or like terms in this Constitution are not to be construed in any way to be referring to a corporation,​ corporate entity, or artificial person. All corporations,​ corporate entities, or artificial persons shall do business in Massachusetts under the regulation of laws passed by the Massachusetts General Court, which shall set the rights of such entities to do business to promote the common good and strengthen the social compact of this Commonwealth. 
 + 
 +SECTION 2. The Massachusetts General Court may regulate and set reasonable limits on all political contributions and expenditures,​ to ensure that all individuals,​ regardless of their economic status, have access to the political process and that no individual gains more access or ability to influence in any way, the election of any candidate for public office, or any ballot measure. The Massachusetts General Court shall require that any and all permissible contributions and expenditures,​ including late donations, be publicly disclosed, in a timely manner, for the purpose of informing the people, before any vote is held. 
 + 
 +SECTION 3. Nothing contained in this Amendment shall be construed to abridge the freedom of the press.
