I am afraid it is a broken system.
The 14th Amendment, was obviously written for corporations, for their being a quasi-person, Since probably less than a dozen slave related cases have ever used that amendment, all the other 10's of thousands have been corporate related.
These cases have endowed the Corporations with all the benefits of a person, but few of the personal(corporate) responsibility hazards.
If a corporation is responsibal for deaths, (Dow, Monsanto) they are not removed from society as a real person would be. They are not inhibited by law in their quest for a profit.
I have seen corporations who are supposedly enabling companies to access capital, when in fact, all they do is destroy them after hyping them. They then move on to another company, and so on, ad infintium, lil corporations of spin/hype.
I have seen corporations of real companies (naked) shorted to death, and decades later, the shares are still out there, the companies destroyed.
I had always thought, you can't(Illegal sell something you do not own, but the BS story, "to create a market" allows this to be done.
Well if there is no market, then there is none. So selling what you do not own to give the impression there is one, is a BS story and theft, that is all it is, nothing more, nothing less.
