Repeal (21st Amendment)

The Repeal refers to the 21st Amendment to the United States Constitution, which was ratified in 1933. This amendment ended Prohibition, a nationwide ban on the production, sale, and transportation of alcoholic beverages that had been established by the 18th Amendment in 1920. Prohibition led to various social issues, including the rise of illegal liquor trade and organized crime. The 21st Amendment allowed states to regulate alcohol again, reflecting a shift in public opinion toward the legality of alcohol consumption and aiming to reduce the negative impacts of Prohibition.
