The resolution proposes an amendment to Article 2, Section 4 of the New Mexico Constitution to explicitly prohibit slavery and indentured servitude in any form. The amendment aims to affirm that all individuals are born free and possess inherent rights, including the rights to life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness, while clearly stating that slavery and involuntary servitude are not permitted.
If approved, this amendment will be presented to the public for a vote during the next general election or at any special election that may be convened before that time. The resolution underscores the commitment to uphold and protect the fundamental rights of all individuals within the state.
