    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The 13th amendment is not part of the bill of rights. The bill of rights refers to the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution, which were ratified in 1791. The 13th amendment, on the other hand, was ratified in 1865 and abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, making it unrelated to the bill of rights.

    Explanation
    The significant event that ended the same year the 13th amendment was adopted was the Civil War. The 13th amendment abolished slavery in the United States, and it was adopted in 1865, the same year the Civil War ended. The Civil War, which lasted from 1861 to 1865, was a major conflict between the Northern and Southern states over issues including slavery and states' rights. The end of the Civil War marked a turning point in American history and paved the way for the abolition of slavery through the 13th amendment.

    What branch of government has the power to enforce this amendment?

    • Judicial

    • Congress

    • Executive

    • Box Turtle Club

    • None of the Bove

    Correct Answer
    A. Congress
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Congress. Congress, which is part of the legislative branch of government, has the power to enforce amendments. This includes proposing and passing laws that align with the amendment and ensuring that they are implemented and upheld. The executive branch, on the other hand, is responsible for enforcing laws but does not have the specific power to enforce amendments. The judicial branch interprets the laws and amendments but does not have the power to enforce them directly. The Box Turtle Club is not a branch of government and therefore does not have the power to enforce amendments.

    • Men

    • Woman

    • Slaves

    • Children

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, therefore benefiting slaves who were previously held in bondage. Additionally, men, women, and children who were previously enslaved were now granted freedom and the same rights as other citizens. Therefore, all of the mentioned groups - men, women, slaves, and children - benefited from the 13th Amendment.
