12/18 munit 12 assessment
12.06 what effect did the twenty - first amendment have on the sale of illegal alcohol in the united states?
possible points: 1
it encouraged bootleggers to continue sales of illegal alcohol.
it made the production and distribution of alcohol legal in the united states.
it strengthened regulations prohibiting the sale of alcohol.

Explanation:

The Twenty - first Amendment repealed the Eighteenth Amendment (which established Prohibition). So it made the production and distribution of alcohol legal in the US, which would reduce the sale of illegal alcohol. The first option is wrong as legalization would not encourage illegal sales. The third option is wrong as it ended Prohibition, not strengthened alcohol sale prohibitions.

Answer:

B. It made the production and distribution of alcohol legal in the United States. (Note: Assuming the middle option is labeled B here as it's the correct one. If the original options had different labels, adjust accordingly based on the actual option numbering. Since the options are presented as three, with the middle one being the correct statement about the Twenty - first Amendment's effect on alcohol legality.)
