Which amendment is associated with Prohibition?

• A. Seventeenth Amendment
• B. Nineteenth Amendment
• C. Eighteenth Amendment
• D. Twentieth Amendment

Answer: (C)

Prohibition is established through a constitutional amendment that banned the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcoholic beverages. This amendment, ratified in 1919, began the Prohibition era and was later repealed by the Twenty-first Amendment in 1933. Other amendments in the list address separate reforms—one changed how senators are elected, another secured women's suffrage, and the last set the terms and sessions of the presidency and Congress—so they do not connect to Prohibition.
