nd that people's fictitious business entities should not be confused with actual "people"

That really isn't the issue here.

Create a constitutional amendment that "corporations are not persons", and it doesn't change things.

They are still collections of people who don't lose their rights when they act in concert. And the 1st amendment stills says that "congress shall pass no law...abridging the freedom of speech...".
