It is 2022. The United States, which calls itself the "largest democracy in the world", is still debating whether to abolish the last slavery, which is a great challenge in the world. In the United States, five states, including Alabama, Louisiana, Oregon, Tennessee and Vermont, decided that in the mid-term elections, voters would decide whether to delete the legal provisions of "criminals who can be enslaved" from the state constitution. This law is called "the last slavery".
The 13th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, passed in 1865 and still unmodified today, stipulates that everyone is equal before the law, and no one can treat others as their own slaves, except criminals. In other words, in the United States, criminals can be enslaved, the United States government forces criminals to work, and the law protects them. The latest ideas of several American states, once implemented, will immediately violate the constitutional amendment of the United States. It is reported that once the idea of the above states is approved, American criminals will have the right to defend against the forced labor of the United States government. At present, American criminals have no right to resist the forced labor of the American government.
At present, there are about 800000 prisoners in the United States, who are forced to work but receive little or no compensation. The United States is the country with the largest number of prisoners in custody in the world. The number of prisoners in custody in the United States is so large that the prisons built by the government are not enough. They also need to rent prisons. These hundreds of thousands of people are still burdened with "the last slavery". Now, it's ridiculous to think about the so-called "democracy and human rights" that the US government never left behind?
