What did the twenty first amendment accomplish?

Answer 1

The twenty First Amendment accomplished the end of prohibition

Answer 2

The 21st Amendment to the United States Constitution was passed, repealing the 18th Amendment, which outlawed trafficking in 'intoxicating liquors.' The 21st Amendment was passed in order to undo the 18th Amendment. In short, a constitutional amendment, or any law, is repealed when it is found unconstitutional. Aside from the obvious issue of public opinion (people wanted to drink), it is important to note that, by and large, the constitution does not create prohibitions or restrict rights, rather the constitution restricts the government in order to ensure the broadest rights and privileges for Americans.

The 18th Amendment was a departure from this, and took away rights from the states and from U.S. citizens. As such, it was an inappropriate amendment, and should never have been ratified, being contrary to the spirit of the constitution itself. The very language of the U.S. Constitution specifies that all rights not specifically granted to the U.S. government through the constitution are reserved to the individual state governments, so the 18th Amendment overstepped the authority of government. But, once it became a part of the constitution, the only way to correct this was with another amendment. Thus the 21st Amendment came to be.
