Answer:    Enlightenment’s theories viewed government as useful in the service of citizens

Explanation:  According to Enlightenment theories, all humans are born with natural rights that guarantee them the right to life, liberty and property. These natural rights do not come from any authority, the king, or even the government. That is why the government should represent the interests of the citizens and work for their own good. This again means that the government should be elected by the will of the majority, not by the will of the authority elected by divine mandate, while all others should be subordinate.

Nana76 [90]

<em>B. 21st Amendment.</em>

Explanation:

The 18th Amendment banned the production, sale, and distribution of liquor. The 21st Amendment repealed the 18th Amendment and made the production, sale, and distribution of liquor legal again.

The 18th Amendment banned alcohol and many people had mixed feelings about it. The temperance movement was essentially against alcohol, wanting it to be banned and prohibited. Many of the people in the temperance movement were women, some of them being victims of domestic violence which they would say was brought on by alcohol.

The banning of alcohol didn't stop a lot of people from obtaining it. Many people would make it from home illegally, or smuggle it in from other countries. Sometimes the police would become corrupt, taking bribes because of liquor. The 18th Amendment proved to be pretty ineffective, many local governments barely taking action to enforce it. Eventually, the 21st Amendment would be ratified, getting rid of the ban on alcohol.
