Which two amendments cancel each other?
They don't cancel each other but the 1st and 14th sometimes conflict- for example the government may step into a Church matter if it's an equal protection issue like gay rights, although they are not supposed to. Perhaps others can provide more examples.Additional thought:There are no amendments that cancel each other out. The Twenty-first Amendment supersedes the Eighteenth Amendment. Congress passed the Volstead Act in 1919, allowing them to enforce the Eighteenth Amendment (Prohibition), and the Twenty-first Amendment ended Prohibition. The earlier amendment doesn't cancel the later amendment.
