"I'll break all of my questions down in to small bits and I'll just ask one or two per post."

That would be very nice.

"Is the problem that there is such a declaration,"

Yes... considering that it is reputedly a result of a clerk being bribed and then inserting the language (illegally, I should point out) into the Court's decision....

" or is the problem the specific legal rights and privileges that corporations have including those resulting from the declaration?"

Well... it is a VERY LARGE grant of RIGHTS --- that totally bypassed the legislative process. So long ago that it's hard to imagine how the world might have turned out differently in the absence of this action... but I suppose it's possible that it might have turned out better somehow. (Certainly it would be different.)

"If your answer is "both", than which is the most serious problem?"

'Most serious'? Out of the entire library of new rights?

Hard to say... possibly the extension of the right against self-incrimination in criminal legal proceedings (essentially, an opportunity to avoid volunteering true and relevant information during the course of criminal investigations by the people's representatives...) but, I'm sure there are many, many others.
