The Eighteenth Amendment, passed in 1919, established the prohibition of alcohol in the United States. It made the buying, selling, and transportation of alcohol illegal. It resulted in the growth of organized crime in America. It’s important to realize that this is the only amendment to the Constitution that limited freedoms to American citizens. In 1933, the Eighteenth Amendment was repealed by the Twenty-First Amendment. No other amendment has been repealed.
