the World War the majority Of
the states had already voted them
selves dry. As a wartime emergency
measure Congress enacted a tenn
porary national Prohibition act.
The opportunity was seized upon
for the submission of a Constitu-
tional amendment for the perpetual
ton of national Prohibition. This,
the 18th amendment, was ratified
in January, 1919. After IA years
of unsuccessful efforts to enforce
prohibition, this 18th amendment
was repealed by the 21st amend
ment, ratified in 1888. This is the
only instance of a Constitutional
amendment being repealed by an
other amendment.
1t has been pointed out that Su-
preme Court decisions have rarely
resulted directly or indirectly in
amendments to the Constitution.
One Supreme Court decision, how
ever, holding a law of Congress
unconstitutional, brought about the
submission of an amendment which
has been awaiting notifications for
II years. 1t would prohibit inter-
state commerce in the products of
child labor.
The Goth Congress enacted a law
which had intended to prevent the
exploitation of children in industry,
but before its provisions became
effective the Supreme Court held
that this was an invasion of the
rights of. the states and therefore
beyond the power of Congress.
the 6Sth Congress, in 1924, sub
mitted an amendment removing
that restriction upon Congressional
authority. Only Fl of the 4S states
have as yet ratified the child labor
amendment, which must be ratified
by Sc states before it becomes a
part of the Constitution.
NEXT WEEK: BRINGING THE
CONSTITUTION UP TO DATE
