What is Continuity of Government?
Continuity of Government (COG) refers to the ability of a government to maintain its essential
functions and operations in the event of a catastrophic event, such as a natural disaster, terrorist
attack, or war.
COG is designed to ensure that the government can continue to function and provide essential
services, even if a significant portion of the government infrastructure, including key personnel, is
incapacitated or destroyed. The goal of COG is to minimize the disruption to government operations
and prevent a power vacuum that could be exploited by adversaries or other actors.
COG plans typically involve a series of measures, such as identifying key personnel, establishing
backup facilities and communication systems, and outlining procedures for decision-making and
resource allocation. These plans may be activated in response to a specific event, or they may be pre-
positioned and ready for immediate implementation in the event of an emergency.
COG is an important aspect of national security, and governments around the world have developed
various strategies and plans to ensure their continuity of operations in the event of a crisis.
Is enslavement lawful in the U.S.?
No, enslavement is not lawful in the United States. Slavery was abolished in the U.S. by the 13th
Amendment to the Constitution in 1865, which states that "neither slavery nor involuntary servitude,
except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within
the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."
While slavery is illegal in the U.S., there are still forms of modern-day slavery and human trafficking
that occur both within and outside the U.S. These include forced labor, debt bondage, and sex
trafficking, among others. The U.S. government and international organizations work to combat
these practices and protect the rights of victims.
