Which amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibited the manufacture, sale and transportation of alcoholic beverages? a) 16th Amendment b) 18th Amendment c) 19th Amendment d) 21st Amendment

The correct answer is b) 18th Amendment.<br /><br />The 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1919, prohibited the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcoholic beverages in the United States. This amendment was the result of a long-standing movement led by the temperance movement, which advocated for the complete prohibition of alcohol.<br /><br />The 18th Amendment was later repealed by the 21st Amendment in 1933, which ended the era of Prohibition and allowed for the legal production, sale, and consumption of alcohol once again.
