Corporations are not democratic. It's congress's power that gives a
corporation any rights so it can do anything it wants. If it is good to
restrict corporate power for the good of the country they can do that.
So yes, congress can decide who has more power or a louder voice.

Actually Corporations can speak their minds. The Supreme Court said
that Congress violated the Constitution when it said Corporations can
not speak their minds. Congress can not restrict corporate power at
least as far as free speach. So No, Congress can not decide who has
the more power or louder voice.

Stanley Fish (law professor) wrote the most intelligent piece I've seen
about this subject. He identifies the "consequentialist" versus the
"deontological" views of Constitutional interpretation, which led to the
clash of opinions in the Citizens United case:
