the 18th ammendment/prohibition
Yes. The Twenty-first Amendment repealed the Eighteenth Amendment (often called the Prohibition Amendment) in 1933.The National Prohibition Act (or Volstead Act) of 1919 provided for enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment, but was not part of the Amendment itself.
The 28th amendment to the US Constitution is the amendment that banned the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages. It was ratified on January 16, 1919.
The only constitutional amendment that has been repealed is the 18th amendment. The 18th amendment was ratified on January 16, 1919 and established the prohibition of alcohol, making the production, transport and sale of alcohol illegal. This amendment was repealed by the 21st amendment on December 5, 1933.
The Prohibition of Alcohol
The 21st Amendment (1933) repealed the 18th Amendment (1919), which is also known as "prohibition" and banned the manufacture and sale of alcohol in the US. (The ban on alcohol did not prohibit its consumption, and was widely ignored, leading to the growth of a massive illegal industry dominated by criminal gangs.)
The 18th amendment was the prohibition (banning) of alcohol. It was repealed by the 21st amendment some years later. More info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_amendments_to_the_United_States_Constitution
A constitutional amendment is any change in the US Constitution. Like the constitution, an amendment must be proposed and then adopted by Congress or by state conventions. It must then be ratified by 2/3 of the current states before it becomes part of the Constitution. Amendments can only be superceded by another later amendment, or repealed by one.
You are probably referring to the 21st Amendment, which ended Prohibition. The 18th amendment to the Constitution (1919) made it illegal to manufacture, sell or distribute alcoholic beverages. It was supposed to reduce alcoholism and lower crime rates (many crimes were related to drunkenness), but it turned out to be a very unpopular law, as well as a law that was nearly impossible to enforce. By 1933, the 21st Amendment had repealed it.
