Which amendment established Prohibition and was later repealed by the 21st amendment?

• A. Amendment 16
• B. Amendment 18
• C. Amendment 21
• D. Amendment 14

Answer: (B)

This question tests knowledge of Prohibition and how amendments change federal policy. Prohibition was created by an amendment that banned the manufacture, sale, and distribution of alcoholic beverages in the United States. That policy remained in effect until it was repealed by the Twenty-First Amendment, which allowed alcohol again and gave states the power to regulate it. The other options refer to different constitutional changes: one established the federal income tax, another defined who counts as a citizen and guaranteed equal protection under the law, and the last one is the amendment that ended Prohibition rather than started it.
