The 21st Amendment to the United States Constitution ended:
  1. Slavery
  2. The indirect election of U.S. Senators
  3. The Jim Crow Era
  4. The women’s suffrage movement
  5. Prohibition
Explanation
Answer: E - The 21st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, enacted in 1933, repealed the 18th Amendment, which prohibited alcohol. Alcohol was illegal in the United States for 14 years, before the Great Depression and obvious failure of Prohibition compelled Congress to admit that alcohol should be legal once again. The 21st Amendment is the only constitutional amendment that repealed another constitutional amendment.
