Thirteenth Amendment

The Thirteenth Amendment is a constitutional amendment, as a formal legal construct within the United States Constitution, that fundamentally distinguishes itself from other reconstructive legal measures by abolishing slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime, thereby serving as a foundational legal instrument in the emancipation and civil rights framework of the Reconstruction Era.
