Genuinely curious. I was under the impression that Constitution applies to people, and the govt. I'd appreciate if you point to any references for Constitution being applied to corporations.

Corporations have had personhood for a while, it's why they also have free speech protection and stuff. 14th amendment protection specifically was decided in 1886 (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Clara_County_v._Southe...)
Correct.
