lawyers know the difference
The Constitution set up the federal government to regulate commerce between the states. So it can only regulate interstate commerce Constitutionally. The supreme court has ruled again and again, and has kept the Federal government in check to this area. So all acts of Congress define person as a legal person and not a natural person. They have no power over the natural person, as the natural person has rights protected by the Bill of Rights and the Supreme Cour has not allowed the federal government to change those rights into benefit/privileges. However, since all America nationals have the right to give their consent to be governed, that is one of your protected rights, the supreme court will allow you to give your consent to be governed and will not interfer. You give your consent by your silence. You give your consent by not knowing the truth. You give your consent, even though the supreme court again and again has ruled for the protected rights of the natural person. It looks like the federal government has overstepped its boundaries,
it has not. It regulates the corporate, commercial entity known as the legal person and according to the Constitution it has the right to govern commercial transactions and commercial entities nationally. But, if you are a human being you are not a commercial entity.
The supreme court will not interfer with commercial transactions and contracts between the federal government and commercial entities. Commerce is the jurisdiction and the "only jurisdiction" of the federal government. It has no jurisdiction over American nationals, who the supreme court has ruled are sovereign and that the protected rights of an american national shall not be infringed. If you don't know history and you don't know your rights, its nobody's fault but your own. The government is not your enemy, it is doing what it is required to do by the Constitution, govern commerce and commercial entities, but your protected rights are still in full force and effect. Know the truth and the truth will set you free.

Legal_entityLegal entity/person - Definition
A legal entity or artificial person is a legal construct with legal rights or duties such as the legal capacity to enter into contracts and sue or be sued. It is an entity -- usually an organization such as a corporation or a government -- ultimately composed of natural persons that the law treats for some purposes as if it were a person, distinct from the natural persons of which it is composed; the "legal personality" of an artificial person, including its rights, duties, obligations and actions, is separate from any of the other artificial or natural persons which compose it. Thus, a legal liability of the legal entity is not necessarily a legal liability of any of its natural persons. For example, a properly executed contract in writing on behalf of a legal entity only affects the rights and duties of the legal entity; it does not affect the personal rights and duties of a natural person who executes the contract on behalf of the legal entity. However, a legal entity only operates in lieu of its natural persons. Thus, for example, a legal obligation involving a tort that a corporate officer incurs while acting in his capacity as an agent for the corporation may be an obligation both of the officer personally and of the corporation.
A legal entity exists wherever the law recognizes, as a matter of policy, the person of any entity, regardless of whether it is naturally considered to be a person. Thus, a legal person is distinguished from a natural person.
Legal entities are sometimes referred to by several other names such as "paper people" due to their legal status of having many of the same rights and obligations as natural persons.
There are some legal possibilities that are available only to natural persons, not to legal entities; for example a legal entity cannot marry, or be elected President.
Legal entities include:
associations
banks
collectives
cooperatives (co-ops)
corporations and hybrids like limited liability companies
estate
governmental institutions
municipalities
states
partnerships
political parties
political action committees (PACs)
unions
trust
