question 3. what was the significance of the 13th amendment to the constitution in the fight against slavery?

Explanation:

Answer:

1. It included the Three-Fifths Compromise (counting enslaved people for congressional representation, giving more power to slave states), allowed the slave trade to continue for 20 years, and had no explicit ban on slavery, enabling its expansion.
2. It provided the large enslaved population that formed the labor base for the Southern agrarian economy, entrenching the institution of slavery in the U.S.
3. It formally abolished slavery and involuntary servitude (except as punishment for a crime) across the entire United States, ending the legal institution of chattel slavery.
