Colorado Constitution Slavery.JPEG-5eda6.jpg

In this Nov. 12, 2016 photo, a close-up of an 1876 copy of the Colorado Constitution which contains an exception under which slavery could be used as punishment for a crime, is shown at the Stephen H. Hart Library & Research Center in Denver. Colorados voters were asked to eliminate an archaic and offensive reference to slavery as a punishment for a crime in the state Constitution. But a week after the vote, the poorly-written amendment is on the cusp of failing, and a lack of clarity from lawmakers may be to blame. (AP Photo/P. Solomon Banda)
