Answer:

c. individuals and corporations.

Explanation:

Not only the amendments, but the entire US constitution was formulated to promote peace and equality across the country. Many people think that this freedom and security guaranteed by the amendments refers only to a public protection, that is, a protection only to the citizens, the people. However, US law seeks freedom and security throughout the country and this includes the private sector represented by corporations. This is clear in the fifth and tenth amendment, where the clauses apply to all "legal persons", meaning individuals and corporations.
