How can I say this?

I'm writing an essay and would like to say something to the effect of "this will help governments regulate both native corporations and individuals." Is saying "regulate both corporate and individual constituents" right? What's a better way of saying it? Thanks

arcanum This will help governments regulate both native corporations and individuals. There's nothing wrong with this. However, "native corporations" immediately suggests corporations that consist of Native Americans, as in Native corporations are the largest private landowners in Alaska.

  • arcanum regulate both corporate and individual constituents Also OK, but I don't see why you would want to introduce a word like "constituents", which suggests the people of a particular geographical area who are represented in government by, for example, a senator.
