21. I have one that might be hiding in your list, but I don't think I see it.

Corporations are LEGAL entities.

Wikipedia uses this definition ... "A corporation is a legal entity that is created under the laws of a state designed to establish the entity as a separate legal entity having its own privileges and liabilities distinct from those of its members." (this statement is also referenced to ... http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/corporation)

The main points are

1) Corporations are legal entities, as and such, they exist only via legislation.

2) A corporation has "privileges and liabilities distinct from those of its members". If it exists "distinct" from its members (people), then it can't have the exact same Constitutional freedoms as "people". In fact ... per #1, corporations only exist thanks to legislation. People exist regardless of legislation.
