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 The 21st Amendment repealed Prohibition.
