The Tennessee Senate has approved a measure to remove a section of the state constitution that allows slavery as a punishment for a crime.
All but four Republican Senators voted in favor of the proposed constitutional amendment on Monday.
Article I Section 33 of the state constitution states, “That slavery and involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime, whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, are forever prohibited in this state.”
