The Standard Documentary History of the Amendment that Repealed ProhibitionEnacted in 1919, the Eighteenth Amendment outlawed the production, transport and sale of intoxicating beverages. Its lack of widespread popular support and its role in the development of organized crime led to its repeal in 1933 with the passage of the Twenty-First Amendment.  The only amendment passed to invalidate another, it was also the only one submitted by Congress to state conventions instead of legislatures. An invaluable collection of source documents, and a standard reference since its initial publication in 1938, this book collects all available state records relating to this notable amendment’s ratification.xi, 718 pp.
