Resolutions for a United States Constitutional Amendment and a limited amendment proposing convention

Massachusetts' SD 370 is a legislative resolution requesting Congress to propose a constitutional amendment or call a convention to address concerns about corporate influence in politics. It seeks to clarify that constitutional rights apply only to natural persons (people), not corporations, and to allow limits on campaign spending to protect democratic processes. The resolution specifies that if Congress does not propose such an amendment within six months, Massachusetts will formally petition for a limited constitutional convention focused solely on these issues. It also requires 33 other states to submit similar requests before Congress would consider convening the convention. This resolution is a procedural step by Massachusetts to join broader state efforts aiming to amend the Constitution regarding campaign finance and corporate rights.
