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."
Section 2.
Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."
What It Means To Me:
This amendment abolished slavery. It also eliminated forever any kind of forced labor.
Media:
Federal government is going too far? Violating the 13th amendment with involuntary servitude? uh-oh!
Media:
No more slavery!!! Yay!
