Since the end of the draft, I think jury service is the only time that our government demands a citizen's personal services. But, for some people even that is apparently too much to ask.
Amendment XIII

Section 1. 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.

Seems pretty clear to me.

If called to involuntary jury servitude, I will calmly begin muttering, escalating in intensity until it is a scream: "Hang him, hang him, hang him, hang him, hang him, ...." And that will refer just to the shysters!!
