Prohibition was canceled primarily due to its unintended consequences, such as the rise of organized crime, speakeasies, and widespread disregard for the law. The economic pressures of the Great Depression also played a significant role, as legalizing alcohol would generate tax revenue and create jobs. The 21st Amendment, ratified in 1933, officially repealed Prohibition, reflecting a shift in public opinion towards the regulation rather than the outright ban of alcohol.

Why was amendment 18 passed?

The 18th Amendment enacted Prohibition. It proved to be highly unpopular, and was largely ignored by the population who continued to drink at speakeasies. The crime rate skyrocketed under Prohibition, as gangsters like Al Capone made fortunes bootlegging alcohol. The Government decided to cancel the 18th Amendment as it was ineffective and unpopular. The 21st Amendment repealed Prohibition.


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.
