	Twenty-first Amendment to the United States Constitution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Amendment XXI (the Twenty-first Amendment) to the United States Constitution repealed the Eighteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which had mandated nationwide Prohibition.
		The Twenty-first was passed by the United States Congress on February 20, 1933 and was fully ratified by December 5, 1933.
		This Amendment is thus far the only case, besides the initial ratification of the original Constitution, in which state conventions, specially selected for the purpose—not state legislatures—ratified the amendment.
