Amendment 13 of the US constitution - Slavery Abolished.
1. 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.
Guantanamo Bay??? "Duly" convicted??? Which country is lying, in its own constitution?
Originally posted by mikelomGuantanamo Bay violates a lot of things, but not this. Slavery and involuntary servitude are about work. Convicted prisoners working on chain gangs clearing trash on the highway fits here. Guantanamo Bay violates Amendments 5, 6, 7, and 8 but not this "Neither slavery..." part.
