The 14th Amendment deals with incorporated entities ONLY. otherwise it would have to be thrown out for contacting previously established constitutional rights. This was a huge issue when the 14A arrived. Read up on the Slaughterhouse Cases and related materials to see how SCOTUS parsed the issue.
As a result, the 14A allowed the contextual use of the word “rights” for the actual operative concept of corporate privilege.
That confusion is the root of the conceptual misunderstanding of what the hell the courts are doing to this day.
Aaaargh
contacting = contradicting
damn autospell
