dec 5, 1933 - 21st Amendment

Description:

The 21st Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified in 1933, repealing the 18th Amendment and ending national Prohibition, which had made the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcoholic beverages illegal since 1920. This amendment remains unique as the only instance of one amendment being entirely repealed by another, and it allowed individual states to control the regulation of alcohol within their borders.
