Simple Definition
The Eighteenth Amendment was a law in the United States that made it illegal to make, sell, transport, or have alcohol. This law was in effect from 1920 to 1933 and was called Prohibition. It was repealed by the Twenty-First Amendment. Prohibition was like a rule that said you couldn't do something. It was meant to stop people from drinking alcohol, but it didn't work very well.
