The 13th Amendment forbids slavery in the United States and any area under the control of the United states. Forbids forced labor except if it is punishment for a crime. It was proposed in January 31, 1865 and ratified Dec 6, 1865. Affects prisons today because they can force labor on the inmates.
The 14th Amendment defines who United States citizens are. If you are born in America you are automatically a citizen. This Amendment made the 3/5 compromise obsolete. All people have rights but not all people can vote.
