Corporate-Personhood

The movement claim that Pembina v. Pennsylvania defines 'natural person' as 'a member of the body politic owing allegiance to the State' — establishing personhood as a status of subjection — is unsupported

The movement reads Pembina v. Pennsylvania for the proposition that 'natural person' means a subject of the state owing allegiance. The actual decision is about diversity jurisdiction over corporations. But the underlying observation — that corporations themselves carry a form of statutory citizenship under 28 U.S.C. § 1332(c) — is real, and the finding preserves it rather than dismissing the layered structure.
