I don't see anybody saying that corporations shouldn't be held liable for doing things which cause specific, identifiable harm. Like, for example, dumping toxic chemicals in the water.

But who holds the State accountable when they do the same thing?

That's what checks and balances are for. Ideally it'd be the judiciary, if it came down to it it would be the people.
