Mississippi was officially the last state to lift all its Prohibition-era laws in 1966, while Kansas lifted the ban on public bars in 1987. In the past decades since the 21st Amendment, there have been a series of Supreme Court decisions that have been argued and ruled over. (National Archives, N/A). "The rulings have set general guidelines regarding limitations on advertising alcoholic beverages and their prices and allowed percentages in certain counties and municipalities within certain states. The Twenty-first Amendment is unique in two different ways when it was ratified, and its ultimate purpose was to repeal a previous addition to the Constitution". (National Archives, N/A). The Twenty-first Amendment was enacted through the Eighteenth Amendment which was adopted in 1919. The Twenty-first Amendment is the only Amendment that was ever used to repeal an earlier Amendment. "The 21st Amendment was ratified on December 5th, 1933, It was then later approved by the Congress on February 20th, 1933. It took less than a year to reach the required number of states needed for the Amendment to finally be ratified".

"The 18th Amendment to the Constitution prohibited the "manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors..." and was ratified by the states on January 16, 1919. The movement to prohibit alcohol began in the United States in the early nineteenth century. On October 28, 1919, Congress passed the Volstead Act, which provided for the enforcement of the 18th Amendment." (Ken Drexler, 2020, para 1) This was negative because it angered the people which caused an up-rise in crime due to illegal making of alcohol. "Prohibition was enacted to protect individuals and families from the “scourge of drunkenness.” However, it had unintended consequences including: a rise in organized crime associated with the illegal production and sale of alcohol, an increase in smuggling, and a decline in tax revenue."

From the early days of the settlement in the late 1800s, the struggle between the "Drys" those who sought to ban alcohol, and the "Wets" those who were in favor of keeping alcohol around. Republican 'Drys' dominated the more rural and Protestant northern and western states, while the Democratic party became known as the party of "Wets', broadly consisting of city dwellers, Catholic immigrants, and southerners (History Extra, 2020). ]]> 2023-05-18 12:54:20 UTC https://padlet.com/2458683/wmgusoh1xk0ckext/wish/2596229809
