lolimhilarious1년 이상You 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.- scarysis1년 이상CRAZY!
techfashion03151년 이상You'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 🙌 The exception is outdated, and I don't believe the courts would allow true slavery as a punishment.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!

birdie20121년 이상It was so unfair that people were enslaved for different time periods, especially over 2 years! Everyone should have the same rights.
