There is three amendments the United States Constitution has mandated in the 211th, 212th, ad 213th which is enforced by a handicap general by the name of Diana Moon Glampers.

According to Vonnegut, human propriety is to give such people more succor in equality, ambitiously having a more than the mere appendages of humanity.
