Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) The thirteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States was proposed to the legislatures of the several states by the Thirty-eighth Congress, on January 31, 1865. The amendment was declared, in a proclamation of Secretary of State William Henry Seward, dated December 18, 1865, to have been ratified by the legislatures of twenty-seven of the then thirty-six states. Interestingly enough, the 13th Amendment makes the use of the "chain gang" or other methods of involuntary servitude by convicted criminals constitutional in the United States, as long as the methods of enforcing the servitude are not "cruel and unusual" (floggings, beatings, etc.). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/United_States_Constitution/Amendment_Thirteen   (381 words)

The Thirteenth Amendment The Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, passed by the Senate on April 8, 1864, by the House on January 31, 1865, and ratified on December 6, 1865, abolished slavery as a legal institution. Although the Thirteenth Amendment that guaranteed slavery was narrowly passed by both houses, the Civil War started before it could be sent to the states for ratification. Until the Thirteenth Amendment was was fully ratified by the necessary majority of the states in December of 1865, the Emancipation Proclamation was the document used to justify separating slaves from their masters, and by late 1865 there were no slaves remaining in the United States. members.tripod.com /~greatamericanhistory/gr02011.htm   (813 words)

DANIEL KLERMAN | Settlement and the Decline of Private Prosecution in Thirteenth-Century England | Law and History ... This article focuses on the thirteenth century in order to understand the appeal during the period when it was most important and in order to explain why it became so marginal. By the end of the thirteenth century, however, the appeal was becoming much less common, and presentment had become the way nearly all crimes were prosecuted. In the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries, parties might come to court and ask for a "license to concord," that is, for judicial approval, which the judges would usually grant in exchange for a monetary payment. www.historycooperative.org /journals/lhr/19.1/klerman.html   (12520 words)

Thirteenth Floor   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) The ornament is the thirteenth in a series of Augusta landmarks, according to Easter... In the latter case, although the thirteenth floor has been skipped in terms of numbering (i.e., for hotel/apartment/suite numbers), the floor numbered 14 is technically the thirteenth floor of the building; it is simply not numbered as such. Conspiracy theorists often suggest that the thirteenth floor in government buildings is not really missing, but actually contains top-secret governmental departments, or more generally that it is proof of something sinister or clandestine going on. www.wikiverse.org /thirteenth-floor   (515 words)

John Meyendorff - Theology in the Thirteenth Century: Methodological Contrasts The same thirteenth century saw the emergence, in the Latin West, of a new and dynamic framework for intellectual creativity the universities and the religious orders, which changed radically the way in which Christian theology was "made". Τo limit ourselves to the thirteenth century, it is sufficient to recall the debate on the use of Holy Chrism (μύρον) in the anointment of emperors, and, therefore, on the nature and significance of the chrism itself, as discussed by Demetrios Chomatianos in connection with the coronation of Theodore Lascaris in Nicea (1208)(1). However, precisely in the thirteenth century, an institutional, social and conceptual bifurcation establishes itself between the Latin West and the Greek (and Slavic) East. www.myriobiblos.gr /texts/english/Meyendorff_10.html   (403 words)

In the midst of the confusion Thirteenth escaped from under the bed and ran away to the king with the bolster and the ogre's most valuable things.

CHILDREN AS CHATTEL Invocation of the thirteenth amendment would require a level of scrutiny of state actions that is far stricter than standards currently utilized, resulting in a stronger presumption against interference in the lives of children and their families. The thirteenth amendment's plain meaning, legislative history, and jurisprudence all require that current child welfare practices in the United States be reformed. By the Thirteenth Amendment, we committed ourselves as a Nation to the proposition that the former slaves and their descendants should be free forever. www.familyrightsassociation.com /bin/white_papers-articles/children-chattel   (16741 words)

A Thirteenth Amendment Framework for Combating Racial Profiling This Article concludes that racial profiling, even in the absence of Congressional legislation, is a violation of the Thirteenth Amendment, and calls on the judiciary to construe the Amendment to fulfill its promise to rid the freedmen and their descendants of slavery’s legacy. By divorcing the Thirteenth Amendment from its history and the intent of its drafters, courts have lost sight of the Amendment’s truly broad and radical purposes. The plaintiffs also alleged that the city’s action violated the Thirteenth Amendment both because of the disparate burden imposed on fls by the street closing and the stigma imposed on the fl community as an “undesirable” presence from which the “desirable” white community needed to be insulated. www.law.harvard.edu /students/orgs/crcl/vol39_1/carter.php   (16329 words)

Risa L. Goluboff, The Thirteenth Amendment and the Lost Origins of Civil Rights, 50 Duke L. J. 1609 (2001)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) Although the Court still expressed free labor aspirations, it defined peonage narrowly and reinforced the notion that the Thirteenth Amendment was a rule that abolished a small and diminishing category of unfree servitudes without touching either the core racial or class inequalities of American society. At the beginning of the war, the Thirteenth Amendment was almost synonymous with the turn of the century definition of peonage as coerced labor in payment of a debt created by a contract between two individuals. Biddle's desire for a Thirteenth Amendment prohibition on state and local laws that served to support involuntary servitude in the South both expanded upon and represented a break with the Supreme Court peonage cases of the 1910s and 1940s. www.law.duke.edu /journals/dlj/articles/dlj50p1609.htm   (17796 words)

A Perfect Circle - Thirteenth Step   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) Thirteenth Step starts out incredibly strong with "The Package," which can be likened to a Tool track, or even "Judith" from Mer De Noms. Some of you may be wondering "is there anything as amazing as '3 Libras' on Thirteenth Step?" And the answer is a succinct "no." However, the second best song APC has ever penned can be found on Thirteenth Step. As was stated previously, there has been little growth since Mer De Noms, but the fact that this group has shown the ability to make an album this solid after numerous lineup changes is a testament to their cooperative strength. www.rockreview.org /apc13.htm   (607 words)

Review: The Thirteenth Floor   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) Had The Thirteenth Floor been released several years ago, it would have generated some interest based solely on its central conceit: that the "real" world might actually be a simulation on someone's computer. The Thirteenth Floor is a plodding and poorly placed movie that incorporates elements of film noir and science fiction into a product that looks good but is otherwise unappealing. Visually, The Thirteenth Floor is striking, although it's not nearly as impressive as The Matrix. movie-reviews.colossus.net /movies/t/13th_floor.html   (870 words)

DVD Review: The Thirteenth Floor The Thirteenth Floor has very little going for it, which is a shame since it has some potential. The Thirteenth Floor, as it is, is simple, a murder mystery that spans the real world and a computer generated virtual world.

AVERROES, THE INCOHERENCE: THIRTEENTH DISCUSSION Averroes answers that "will" as applied to both God and man is equivocal, that to be their creator God does not need to know individuals; universal knowledge of all possibilities is enough. The Thirteenth discussion is about whether God knows changeable things as changing: Ghazali says that by an unchanging knowledge God knows changing things. Averroes says that God does know them, but not as changing; rather he knows them as he knows individuals, by knowing himself - he is the source of whatever exists, and knows all things by the single simple eternal act of knowing himself - an act which indeed is himself. www.humanities.mq.edu.au /Ockham/x52t08.html   (3999 words)

CNN - Review: A letdown on 'The Thirteenth Floor' - May 28, 1999 And the premise for "The Thirteenth Floor," realities within realities, is clever. Bottom line: Even though "The Thirteenth Floor" has its moments and isn't a total washout, you can't help thinking that with the talent involved -- this should have been a much better movie. "The Thirteenth Floor" opens nationwide on Friday, May 28 and is rated R with a running time of 120 minutes. www.cnn.com /SHOWBIZ/Movies/9905/28/review.thirteenth.floor/index.html   (714 words)

Pier Candido Decembrio, "The Thirteenth Book of the Aeneid" Pier Candido Decembrio (1392-1497) was born in Milan, where he worked as a secretary, first for the tyrant Filippo Maria Visconti, and afterwards for the city's short-lived republican government. High-spirited, his chest soaked with his dying blood, preternatural anger streaming from his eyes, the son of Daunus appeased the ghosts of Troy with a wound. Anxious mothers pour out, grieving with loud lamentation, crowding the gates to look at the procession-you would think that the temple of the gods, their sons, and the images of their local deities were all being destroyed, and that every housetop was aglow with fire.... www.virgil.org /supplementa/decembrio.htm   (1212 words)
