Why was the 18th amendment repealed by the 21st amendment?
The Eighteenth Amendment was ratified on on the 16th of January in the year 1919. The amendment went into effect one year later on the 16th of January, 1920, and was later repealed by the 21st Amendment on December 5, 1933. In the 230 plus years of the U.S. Constitution, the 18th is the only Amendment ever to have been repealed. The 18th Amendment was repealed because did not solve any problems people thought it would. This Amendment banned the sale and consumption of alcohol. People thought banning it would end bad social problems, such as crime and poverty. The Amendment had the opposite effect. Crime and poverty increased and government spending increased to try to enforce it. So repealing the 18th Amendment lowered government spending.
