What would it take to return personhood to an individual
and remove it from corporations? It seems to me that it would go a long way toward restoring the power of the vote and reducing the money and corruption in politics.

1. Given existing legal precedent...
... probably no less than a Constitutional amendment written in a way which redefines corporations as artificial persons and reserving those rights in the Constitution to natural persons (real people).

Cheers.

2. At the level of change within a society, no less than it took to...
...remove the aristocracy from France back in 1789, overthrow the tyranny of the Czar of Russia in 1917, the remove the British occupiers of India in 1948 and the corrupt Ming dynasty from China in 1947. In other words, an uprising of the oppressed people against the tyranny of the rich and powerful ruling class and sufficient to bring about a social revolution that strips all power from the upper class and gives power to the people.
