Answer:

B. Twenty-first

Explanation:

The Eighteenth Amendment, passed in 1919, established the prohibition of alcohol in the United States. It made the buying, selling, and transportation of alcohol illegal. It resulted in the growth of organized crime in America. It’s important to realize that this is the only amendment to the Constitution that limited freedoms to American citizens. In 1933, the Eighteenth Amendment was repealed by the Twenty-First Amendment. No other amendment has been repealed.

The correct answer is B) Twenty-first .

Prohibition was supposed to be a constitutional amendment that would help America to be a less violent, morally sound country. However, this law just had the opposite effect. Violence increased during this time as rival gangs competed to sell illegal alcohol to millions of Americans over the course of a decade. Realizing that Prohibition was not working, the US government developed the 21st amendment in order to get rid of the 18th amendment.

The Supreme Court is most likely to be accused of judicial activism in cases involving?

satela [25.4K]

The Supreme Court is most likely to be accused of judicial activism in cases involving: protection of individual rights.

Writing for the conservative group, The Heritage Foundation, Elizabeth Slattery defines judicial activism as "when judges fail to apply the Constitution or laws impartially according to their original public meaning, regardless of the outcome, or do not follow binding precedent of a higher court and instead decide the case based on personal preference."

Cases involving individual rights are likely to elicit charges of judicial activism because the Constitution does not spell out each and every sort of right citizens may have. New questions come up that were not considered or specified at the time the Constitution was written. For instance, Roe v. Wade (1973) addressed the question of abortion and an individual's right to privacy. Obergefell v. Hodges (2015) addressed the legality of same-sex marriage. Both are cases of individual rights, where the Constitution did not give direct instruction on the issues at stake. The decisions on those issues, to allow abortion and to allow same-sex marriage, both are criticized by conservatives as instances of judicial activism.
