Twenty-First Amendment

Section 1.

"The eighteenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed."

Section 2.

"The transportation or importation into any State, Territory, or possession of the United States for delivery or use therein of intoxicating liquors, in violation of the laws thereof, is hereby prohibited."

Section 3.

"This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by conventions in the several States, as provided in the Constitution, within seven years from the date of the submission hereof to the States by the Congress."

This amendment is directly related to the eighteenth amendment that was the one that established Prohibition (no consume, production or transportation of alcohol). The twenty-first amendment repeals the 18th.

I thought this image was very funny because we can see people celebrating the end of Prohibition. The image is from December 5th, 1933.
