- The 18th Amendment
- The 21st Amendment
The 18th Amendment is Prohibition of Alcohol. The law said that people can not sell alcohol and make alcohol. This law had one loop hole. It never said people could not drink the alcohol. The 21st Amendment is to cancel the 18th amendment. The law was made to cancel the 18th Amendment to cancel because no followed it the law.
The main intent of the 18th Amendment was to stop people from selling and making it. This law was cancelled 15 years later. During those times people were real alcoholic. People became out of control. So, congress had to make a law to stop this. The law was eventually cancelled. The main intent of the 21st Amendment cancelled the 18th Amendment. People were not following the 18th Amendment so the 2lst Amendment was eventually passed.
The 18th Amendment didn't really succeed. It got cancelled 15 years after the law was passed. Since no one followed the law it got cancelled. The 21st Amendment still stands to this day. This amendment looks like it is going to say around for a while.
