A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.” -Thomas Jefferson

The Thirteenth Amendment
This one is simple, but clear: NO MORE SLAVERY. Although, as we all know, many states still found ways to deny the rights of those once considered slaves. Some people just can't let things go, can they?

You might find the placement of a Roe v. Wade video somewhat odd here. I found it odd that it popped up in the search bar, to be honest. However, what I didn't know was that part of the argument used in Roe v. Wade used the Thirteenth Amendment's involuntary servitude clause. It's always interesting how some amendments get applied to things that you wouldn't think they would.
