NOTE - The enactment of the above stipulations as outlined within the contents of Sections 502 and 601 effectively repeal the 13^th Amendment of the Constitution, further cementing previous contentions regarding the dissolution of Constitutional viability as amended with the passage of the Emergency Banking Relief Act of 1933. The use of the term ‘uncompensated employment’ synonymous with the practice of chattel slavery. Section 601 of this particular measure specifies, in large part, how the expansion of government authority as it pertains to the delegation of work detail within the domestic periphery facilitates these actions.
