Rhode Island rescinds its ratification of the Corwin Amendment, a proposed U.S. Constitutional amendment concerning states' rights over domestic.

The Corwin Amendment, proposed by U.S. Representative Thomas Corwin of Ohio, aimed to prevent the U.S. Constitution from being amended to allow Congress to abolish or interfere with states' domestic institutions, including slavery. Rhode Island ratified this amendment in 1861. This resolution repeals Rhode Island's ratification, reflecting the amendment's current moot status due to the end of the Civil War and the ratification of the 13th Amendment. The resolution requests that a certified copy be sent to the Archivist of the United States and other federal officials.
