Thirteenth Amendment

Read a random definition: Secretary of Labor

A quick definition of Thirteenth Amendment:

Thirteenth Amendment: The Thirteenth Amendment is a law that was added to the United States Constitution in 1865. It made slavery and forced labor illegal in the United States. This means that no one can be forced to work without their consent or be treated like property. The Thirteenth Amendment is important because it helped to end slavery and ensure that everyone has the right to be free.

A more thorough explanation:

The Thirteenth Amendment is a change to the United States Constitution that was ratified in 1865. It ended slavery and forced labor. This amendment is unique because it applies to individuals as well as states, and there is no requirement of "state action." Congress can pass all necessary legislation to enforce this amendment.

Example: The Thirteenth Amendment was a significant step towards ending slavery in the United States. It abolished the practice of owning people as property and forced labor, which was a common practice in the country at the time.

A 30(b)(6) deposition is a legal procedure where an organization designates a representative to testify on its behalf. This deposition is taken under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The notice of deposition or subpoena may name the organization and specify the matters to be covered in the deposition. The organization must then designate a person to testify about those matters on its behalf.

Example: A company is being sued for a defective product. The plaintiff's lawyer sends a notice of deposition to the company, requesting a 30(b)(6) deposition. The company designates a representative to testify about the product's design, manufacturing, and safety testing. This representative will answer questions on behalf of the company during the deposition.
