Original sentence: Its only statement on the Thirteenth Amendment issue reads thus:
Edited sentence: Compulsion also means that the wages and working conditions of the workers is inferior.Conscription even ends up mirroring many of the infamous traits of chattel slavery in the American South; one's life is in the hands of those giving orders, to be sacrificed at will, one can be severely punished, even imprisoned, beaten, or killed, for trying to escape.Critics respond that the concept of such "duties" originate from medieval statism, which have been long-overturned by the principles of inalienable rights espoused in the American Declaration of Independence; therefore such critics hold these claims to be obsolete, and such rulings to be therefore abuses of court-discretion.David Hume points out that this was illustrated by the press gang.Its only statement on the Thirteenth Amendment issue was based on a "supreme and noble duty" argument from nationalism and not legal reasoning:.The legalised abduction of citizens by the state makes for military inefficiency as well as economic inefficiency and a denial of Constitutional freedom.These are examples of "military" conscription used to obtain involuntary labour.They also illustrate one key theme of Adam Smith and other liberal economists: that liberty is the key method of social improvement.When compulsion takes the place of free markets and free labour the efficiency of the economy is reduced.When labour is too cheap it will be wasted as other commodities are and this is one reason for the collapse of communism in the USSR
