How can a Business Corporation function more Democratically?

There are many ways a Business Corporation can function more democratically. Most Business Corporations are Huge Corporations. Their Design is to function as Money Making 'Persons'for the benefit of the Corporation and its owners. The Supreme Court's Baptism of the Corporation as 'Person' opens 'protections' to it that are not available to the normal 'Real' 'Business-Person'. A 'Real Business Person', not a 'Legal Fiction' has a limited impact on its Business and the creation of the 'Supply and Demand' and 'Demand and Supply' required of it. The Demand must exist and the supply is limited to a much smaller Market. Most small corporations can supply the demand existing within the area of 'function'. They may well serve the 'Common Good' but only in a 'limited manner'; not the 'General Welfare and Common Good' required by the Constitution. Well, that's good, but the Large Business Corporation is in a better position to serve the 'General Welfare' and the Common Good of the Nation as a whole. Instead they serve the Sole Owner and the few Owners who strive for a place on the 'Forbes List'. Generally, most Large Corporations function as 'Autocrats'. A Constitutionally created Person in a Democracy that 'functions undemocratically', as an 'Autocrat'. Does that make sense? A Democracy that creates a 'Legal Fiction' that 'functions' as an 'Autocrat'. Every Large Business Corporation should have a clause in its By-Laws that require it to also serve the 'General Welfare' and the 'Conmmon Good'. Surely, they can find a way to do 'that' and since they are 'Constitutionally created Persons', and 'failing that', they should lose their 'Constitutionally created Personhood'. Isn't it time for a 'Corporate Society' to become a 'Democratic' Corporate Society?
