Twenty-first Amendment

Read a random definition: District Attorney (DA)

A quick definition of Twenty-first Amendment:

The Twenty-first Amendment is a change to the Constitution that was made in 1933. It got rid of the 18th Amendment, which made it illegal to sell or drink alcohol in the whole country. The Twenty-first Amendment gave the states the power to decide if they wanted to allow alcohol or not.

A more thorough explanation:

The Twenty-First Amendment is a change to the United States Constitution that was ratified in 1933. It ended the national prohibition of alcohol that was established by the Eighteenth Amendment and gave the power to regulate alcohol back to the individual states.

For example, before the Twenty-First Amendment, it was illegal to sell or consume alcohol in the United States. But after the amendment was ratified, states were allowed to decide for themselves whether or not to allow alcohol sales and consumption within their borders. This meant that some states continued to prohibit alcohol, while others allowed it.

The Twenty-First Amendment is important because it shows how the Constitution can be changed to reflect the changing values and needs of society. It also demonstrates the balance of power between the federal government and the states, as it returned the regulation of alcohol to the states.
