What is another word for eighteenth amendment?
Pronunciation: [ˈe͡ɪtiːnθ ɐmˈɛndmənt] (IPA) 
The Eighteenth Amendment was a US constitutional change that prohibited the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors within the country. Some synonyms for this amendment include the prohibition amendment, the dry amendment, or the noble experiment. The Eighteenth Amendment went into effect in 1920 and was revoked by the Twenty-First Amendment in 1933. This change in the law led to a rise in organized crime and the bootlegging industry, as well as increased government expenditures on enforcement. Despite its failure, the Eighteenth Amendment remains a significant historical event in American history and serves as a reminder of the consequences of prohibition.
