Which amendment established Prohibition?

Explanation:
Prohibition was created through a constitutional change that bans the manufacture, sale, and transportation of intoxicating liquor. Ratified in 1919 and taking effect in 1920, this amendment put Prohibition into the Constitution and national law. It’s separate from the later repeal that came with the 21st Amendment in 1933. The other amendments addressed different issues—women’s suffrage and the direct election of senators—so they do not establish Prohibition.
