1) What are some of the potential upsides and downsides to allowing Constitutional protection to businesses?

2) Have a look at this article:

The Constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act: An Update On June 28, 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld key provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) after 26 states had challenged its constitutionality in lower courts. In last Novembers Virtual Mentor health law column, we summarized some of the key legal issues the court would consider in the ACA case, and now we examine their ruling, including the basis for the courts decision and relevant legal considerations as the ACA is implemented [1].Journal of Ethics | American Medical Association

The individual mandate of the Affordable Healthcare Act was upheld under the taxing clause in the Constitution instead of the Commerce Clause. Why do you think that is the case, and what could have been the result of upholding it under the Commerce Clause in regards to the power balance of the federal government and the individual states?

3) Why is it important to understand the implications of which entity a business organizes as (discuss from a taxation and liability standpoint).
