Corporations are not people... You can hang people for being homicidal.

A corporation is a legal entity owned by people. These owners have limited liability.

Corporations are people in the sense that they have a vested interest in the direction the country goes. They have a right to donate money to political campaigns, etc. because they have an interest in the outcome.
Corporations are not autonomous like humans are. Therefore they need a management team to act as their "brain". Also, the profits generated have to go to a human since corporations themselves can't really spend/save/invest money - people use money. When a corporation is sold, it is essentially swapping brains from the buyer to the seller and the seller is assigning the right to be paid to the buyer.

The definition of the word "person" is not the same in legalese as in common english. Corporations are 'persons'. You have a 'person' if you got a birth certificate. Rabbit hole type stuff to jump into. All about deception.
