    In other countries, there is no written constitution or the constitution is merely aspirational, like our Declaration of Independence.

    That’s false for several if not most republics and constitutional monarchies (democracy but with national nepo babies on top).

    The 13th Amendment doesn’t discourage slavery, it prohibits it.

    Except for penal slavery. It explicitly allows the prison slavery that’s common practice to this day. There’s almost half as many legally enslaved people in the US today as there were in 1860.
