(This is still important info, but it is only from the USA Corporation constitution of 1871 as the 'Organic Act of 1871' made our government a corporation, including War Profit, and the original constitution for the Republic is stated as The Constitution for the united States of America!)
The Constitution of the United States of America, Original 13th Amendment

THE
ORIGINAL 13TH AMENDMENT IS RATIFIED
BY PUBLICATION OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA!
BY PUBLICATION OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA!
However, on March 10, 1819, the Virginia legislature passed Act No. 280 (Virginia archives of Richmond, "misc." file, p. 299 for micro-film):
"Be it enacted by the General Assembly, that there shall be published an edition of the Laws of this Commonwealth in which shall be contained the following matters, that is to say; the Constitution of the united States and the amendments thereto. ..."
What was, by law, to be included in the re-publication (a special edition) of the Virginia Civil Code? The Virginia legislature had already agreed that all "Acts" were to go into effect on the same day - the day that the "Act" to re-publish the Civil Code was enacted. Therefore, the 13th Amendment's official date of ratification would be the date of re-publication of the Virginia Civil Code: March 12, 1819.
The Delegates knew Virginia was the last of the 13 States that were necessary for the ratification of the 13th Amendment. They also knew that there were powerful forces allied against this ratification so they took extraordinary measures to make sure that it was published in sufficient quantity (4,000 copies were ordered, almost triple their usual order), and instructed the printer to send a copy to President James Monroe, as well as James Madison and Thomas Jefferson. (The printer, Thomas Ritchie, was bonded. He was required to be extremely accurate in his research and his printing, or he would forfeit his bond.)
In this fashion, Virginia announced the ratification; by publication and dissemination of the Thirteenth Amendment of the Constitution.
ORIGINAL Amendment XIII 1810
"If any citizen of the United States shall accept, claim, receive or retain any title of nobility or honour, or shall, without the consent of Congress, accept and retain any present, pension, office or emolument of any kind whatever, from any emperor, king, prince or foreign power, such person shall cease to be a citizen of the United States, and shall be incapable of holding any office of trust or profit under them, or either of them."
