Explanation:

Prohibition, the ban on the selling and transporting of alcoholic beverages, was adopted by the US after the first world war, and it led directly to organized crime. Because of the ban, people turned to illegally selling and buying the products and as a result gang violence and other crimes ensued. So, Congress eventually adopted a resolution proposing a 21st Amendment that would repeal the 18th, which was ratified on December 5, 1933, officially ending prohibition.
