21st Amendment: Bring Liquor Back!

What They Say:

SECTION 1

The eighteenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.

SECTION 2

The transportation or importation into any State, Territory, or possession of the United States for delivery or use therein of intoxicating liquors, in violation of the laws thereof, is hereby prohibited.

SECTION 3

   

This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by conventions in the several States, as provided in the Constitution, within seven years from the date of the submission hereof to the States by the Congress.

What We Say: The 18th amendment is now abolished and importing liquors to any state is not allowed. 

Repealing the 18th amendment did not mean that alcohol was completely legal and some states decided to keep anti-alcohol laws after the 21st amendment was made.
