The Constitution itself doesn't grant corporations any rights. Amazon the corporation is the one being "punished" here, not an individual.

- anon291 2y agoCorporations are free associations of people, which are protected by the first amendment. Your rights don't end the moment you slap a new name on something. Do you actually contend that the first amendment only allows individuals to speak and not groups of individuals? That the right to speak disappears the moment one finds a friend with whom you collaborate? Also, the entire verbiage is incorrect. The Constitution grants no human right. It prevents the American government from interfering with natural rights. Assembly and speech are natural rights. Corporations have rights because they are free groups of people, who all have natural rights. THose don't disappear the moment they band together. Quite the opposite, as I'm sure you know from our shared support for unions.
