Why was the 18th amendment repealed by the 21st amendment?

History

anastassius [24]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The correct answer is: "It was unpopular with a majority of Americans and also difficult to enforce".

The 18th amendment to the US Constitution was issued in 1917 and declared a nationwide prohibition of intoxicating liquors, which banned both the production and sale of alcoholic beverages. Subsequently the Volstead Act was issued too, for the enforcement of this 18th amendment.

Although there was a decrease in alcohol consumption the enforcement of these regulations was extremely complicated, criminal organizations arose and started to sell alcohol in the black markets. Moreover, the public opinion started to reject the Prohibition in the 1920s decade. In 1932 President Franklin D. Roosevelt claimed for its derogation and in 1933 the 21st amendment to the US Contitution was passed to repeal the previous 18th amendment. It is the only time in the US history that one amendment is only issued to overrule a previous one.

Was President Roosevelt justified in ordering Executive Order 9066, which resulted in the internment of Japanese American citize
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Argument Detailing Roosevelt was not justified:

Roosevelt Put thousands of Japanese citizens of the US into Internment camps, initially ending Japanese freedom in the US. Now, I could see this as an act to prevent Japanese sabotage in the United states however, This act ended Japanese Business, Japanese dreams of success. This was effectively one of roosevelts worst descisions. Roosevelt justified the order on the area  of military necessity, declaring that Japanese Americans were a threat to national security. This was not justified at all! How could every Japanese citizen collude with its  government? I think that Roosevelt was blindsided by the suprise attack just like every american and treated the japanese nationality with hostility and disrespect!

Argument Detailing Roosevelt was Justified: He was very justified. We were talking peace with the Japanese before the pearl harbor attacks,trying to find a solution to our deteriorating relations, Thousands of american Sailors and marines died that day and the Japanese could attack from inside the US using Sabotage and spies, Many Japanese agreed with Imperialistic Japanese views! They believed Japan should be a Great empire with vast territory and a large army. The only way to stop an entire attack from inside the US was to put Japanese citizens in these internment camps!

Explain the major climate differences in the northern and southern regions of China including temperatures and precipitation.
uysha [10]

The southern part of China and its northern part are total contrasts when it comes to the climate. The southern part is coming out on sea, and it is on lower latitude. Because of this, this part of China is covered with tropical vegetation, having a wet and dry seasons. The temperatures are mostly over 30 C degrees, the precipitation is very high when the monsoons are wet, and almost totally absent when the monsoons are dry. The northern part, on the other side, is far away from the sea, and it is also on higher elevation. This part is also on higher latitude. The landscape is dominated by desert and semi-desert. The precipitation is very low because this part is not reached by the moisture from the sea, and it is heavily influenced by the continental air masses. This results in very high temperatures in the summer, exceeding 35 C degrees, and very low temperatures in winter, going below -40 C degrees.
