Mama, I don't think you understand the basis for our government.
Darlin', my family has been here for almost 400 years, and I understand our government just fine.
Are we governmental entities? Of course not, we're people!
The common definition of person;
Webster's New World Dictionary (Third College Ed.) (1988)
person
1. a human being, esp. as distinguished from a thing or lower animal; individual man, woman or child.
Legal definition:
Black's Law Dictionary (7th Ed.) (1999)
person
1. A human being.
2. An entity (such as a corporation) that is recognized by law as having the rights and duties of a human being.
The common definition and the first legal definition are the same. The second legal definition however, is used only if a person intentionally, with knowledge and consent, uses the law of contracts to create an artificial entity in order to start a business and/or protect his assets. Any artificial entity purposely created never has the exact same name as a living person
Because true law says exactly what it means and means exactly what it says, ‘person’ is defined even further.
Black's Law Dictionary ;
"natural person" : A human being, as distinguished from an artificial person created by law.
"artificial person" : An entity, such as a corporation, created by law and given certain legal rights and duties of a human being.
Nolo also had an interesting definition:
natural person
A living, breathing human being, as opposed to a legal entity such as a corporation. Different rules and protections apply to natural persons and corporations, such as the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, which applies only to natural persons. (Emphasis mine)
Anyone with half a brain knows a corporation is artificial, and can’t have ‘rights’ like a person! So if we’re natural persons, it makes sense we should follow natural law.

natural law
n. 1) standards of conduct derived from traditional moral principles (first mentioned by Roman jurists in the first century A.D.) and/or God's law and will. The biblical Ten Commandments, such as "thou shall not kill," are often included in those principles. Natural law assumes that all people believe in the same Judeo-Christian God and thus share an understanding of natural law premises.
2) the body of laws derived from nature and reason, embodied in the Declaration of Independence assertion that "all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
3) the opposite of "positive law," which is created by mankind through the state.
Political and legal subdivision operate under POSITIVE law, and have no authority to define any word, including those like 'person' or 'crime'.
It is 'ultra vires' or beyond governments power or authority, and therefore null and void upon it's inception.
