"The fact that A causes B, does not mean that A IS B." Correct. (And I never said it did!) "If you could have the declaration with the rights," You mean: the STATUS QUO that exists today.... "... or the rights without the declaration, which would you have?" Interesting.... As I've said... I'd prefer that the rights (any) be legally granted, not extra-legally obtained... and - as I believe I've also mentioned a couple of times now - I'd still be willing to trade a ZERO tax rate in exchange for that grant of "personhood" on the corporate form. And then... since there are so many legal rights all bound-up in that legal doctrine, some of them quite reasonable and useful to work with I'm sure... I'd be more then happy to look at providing for the really useful ones ('useful' in the sense of society, and the liberty of individuals, and the national economy, etc.) to be restored to corporations... this time legally, not by dint of massive over-reach of judicial activism. (Or 'judicial legerdemain by bribed clerks, followed by the accretion of decades of history' if you will. :-)
