lolimhilarious약 1년You know how the thirteenth amendment says that slavery is illegal? Well it actually says "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." So that means if someone is convicted of a crime they can be enslaved. Think about that.- scarysis11달CRAZY!
techfashion0315약 1년You're right, it does say that, however the amendment aimed to end chattel slavery (like a person being seen as property that is used for work rather than an actually human being), and thankfully, that's gone. 🙌 The exception is outdated, and I don't believe the courts would allow true slavery as a punishment. Good catch tho! I'm a huge fan of the amendments so I really appreciate your thought!
kirkturbos약 1년Oh wow! I wonder if the government could apply that nowadays?

birdie2012약 1년It was so unfair that people were enslaved for different time periods, especially over 2 years! Everyone should have the same rights.
