In 1850, the state of Michigan’s constitution read, “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, unless for the punishment of crime, shall ever be tolerated in this state,” inadvertently legalizing slavery as an appropriate punishment for crime. It was not until 1963 when the comma was shifted from its position after servitude to a position after slavery, outlawing slavery as punishment for crime.
