Answer 1

C. Amendment XIII permits involuntary servitude as punishment for a crime; Amendment XIV does not.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Civil War Amendments were established to ensure equality for emancipated slaves by outlawing slavery, specifying the requirements for citizenship, and guaranteeing voting rights.

The 13th Amendment was the first one, and it banned slavery and any kind of involuntary servitude, whit the sole exception of punishment for a crime.

On the other hand, the 14th Amendment established the definition for citizenship that overturned the Dred Scott V. Sandford (1857) Supreme Court decision about Black people not being eligible for citizenship, but no mention of involuntary servitude as punishment for a crime.
