Why would we want to do that? Is there some actual problem you are trying to address? Or do you simply not li,e the language because of a fear it would result in enslaving people for minor crimes? If the latter, is that even a real fear? It has never been used that way, if such a law were proposed it would be unlikely to pass. Plus. amending the Constitution is so hard, the energy would be better spent on more pressing needs than working on the 13th amendment.

I've been to prison for drugs and I get a lot of tickets since I came home. I've been a slave. I see what they're doing and I want to help our people. Something has to give.

So what about your situation do you think would have been different by taking that phrase out of the 13 Amendment?
