Is an Amendment to Abolish Slavery Really Necessary in the US Constitution

Slavery was officially abolished in the US with the 13th Amendment in 1865, so why do we need another amendment to reinforce its abolition? In the first place, adding an amendment to explicitly abolish slavery in the Constitution could give a strong message of the country’s commitment to human rights and help fight against modern forms of enslavement.

Still, some argue that this proposed amendment is merely symbolic and may distract from more pressing issues such as police brutality and systemic racism. Instead of focusing on a new amendment, we should concentrate on implementing concrete changes to address broader issues of inequality and injustice.

It is certainly a positive development that most states have ratified the amendment proposal, but we must also be aware that it is not a magic solution to all issues of racial inequality. There are still many deep-rooted, systemic issues that require significant changes to improve equality and justice in this country.

In summary, while the proposed amendment to abolish slavery in the US Constitution is a step forward, we must also prioritize implementing systemic changes to tackle broader problems of injustice. It is crucial to keep working towards a more equitable and just society, while recognizing the significance of adding this proposed amendment to the national Constitution.
