The _______ Amendment is the only constitutional amendment that was ratified by approval of conventions in three-fourths of the states.

A. Eighteenth
B. Twenty-Sixth
C. Fifteenth
D. Twenty-First

Answer 1

D. Twenty-First

Step-by-step explanation:

The Eighteenth Amendment, passed in 1919, established the prohibition of alcohol in the United States. It made the buying, selling, and transportation of alcohol illegal. It resulted in the growth of organized crime in America. It’s important to realize that this is the only amendment to the Constitution that limited freedoms to American citizens. In 1933, the Eighteenth Amendment was repealed by the Twenty-First Amendment. No other amendment has been repealed.

Answer 2

The correct answer is letter D.
The 21st Amendment was the only constitutional amendment that was ratified by approval of conventions in three-fourths of the states. It had repealed the 18th Amendment of the US Constitution which was designed for the prohibition on alcohol during the 1920s. The 21st Amendment was ratified in 1933 and was a unique form of amendment that was repealed by state ratifying conventions.
