Which amendment repealed Prohibition?

• A. 21st Amendment
• B. 18th Amendment
• C. 19th Amendment
• D. 20th Amendment

Answer: (A)

Prohibition was created by the 18th Amendment, which banned the manufacture, sale, and transport of alcoholic beverages. The amendment that undid that ban is the one ratified in 1933, which repealed the 18th Amendment and ended national Prohibition. This shows how a later amendment can erase an earlier one, restoring legality and allowing regulation at the state level again. The other options address different issues—one granted women the vote, another changed when presidents and Congress terms begin—so they don’t fit the question about ending Prohibition.
