The establishment of corporate personhood has been a major threat to our society. It doesn't make sense that some abstract entity can have more legal rights than people. If someone commits a crime, they go to jail and so they cannot continue to harm society. On the other hand, if a corporation commits a crime, they get a fine and keep doing what they were doing. There should be a point beyond which people need to go to jail or the corporation shares need to be seized by the government.
There needs to be an incentive for shareholders to dump shares of unethical companies. The government should provide that incentive.
