Subtraction By Addition?: The Thirteenth And Fourteenth Amendments, Mark A. Graber
Subtraction By Addition?: The Thirteenth And Fourteenth Amendments, Mark A. Graber
Mark Graber
The celebration of the Thirteenth Amendment in many Essays prepared for this Symposium may be premature. That the Thirteenth Amendment arguably protects a different and, perhaps, wider array of rights than the Fourteenth Amendment may be less important than the less controversial claim that the Fourteenth Amendment was ratified after the Thirteenth Amendment.
