Answer:

1. It prohibited the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors.

2. it provided freedom for the actual consumption of alcohol.

Step-by-step explanation:

The eighteenth (18th) amendment of the United States Constitution was ratified by the states in 1919. The purpose of the amendment is to declare illegal production, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors.

However, this amendment does not make the consumption of alcohol illegal. Thereby giving the Americans the freedom to consume alcohol or liquor. The amendment was later repealed by in 1933 twenty-first (21st) amendment
