Answered by maham237 @



The correct answer is D) Congress and the states agreed to repeal it.

The 18th amendment made the manufacturing, sale, and distribution of alcohol in the United States illegal. This amendment, meant to restore American morals and values, backfired. This era of Prohibition resulted in an increased crime rate and increased drinking rates all over the country. This is why Congress passed the 21st amendment, which repeals (aka gets rid of ) the 18th amendment.
