21st Amendment


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The eighteenth article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.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

I guess this applies to me because when I'm 21 I am able to drink when and almost wherever I want. 
I put this because it shows how big of a deal it was that the prohibition was over. I'm sure all alcoholics around the world were extremely excited. I know if you could see the rest of the paper you'd see a crowd full of people cheering and being excited that it was over. 
Again showing how excited people were that the prohibition was over. Also they just brought out all the beer they were hiding. They had the biggest drunken feast you could possibly think of probably.
