c. prohibition of child labor
d. balanced federal budget
I know that the 19th amendment is woman suffrage, but the 18th amendment is the prohibition of alcohol and the 21st amendment is the repeal of prohibition. So is the answer a?
The only formal amendment to the Constitution was the prohibition of alcoholic beverages (18th amendment). Yes, it was later repealed, but prohibition was formally amended to the Constitution.
The 19th Amendment only gave women the right to vote. It did not give women other rights.
Your answer is b.
Well, isn't it ironic that the only thing formally amended to the Constitution was the prohibition of alcohol? Talk about taking away people's way of coping with politics! But don't worry, they quickly realized the error of their ways and repealed that amendment with the 21st Amendment. So, cheers to the freedom to drink responsibly!
Yes, the answer is b. The prohibition of alcoholic beverages (18th amendment) was formally amended to the constitution. This amendment, which took effect in 1920, prohibited the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcoholic beverages. It was later repealed by the 21st amendment in 1933.
