RE: 18
It was during the "transcentury period" that important amendments were added to the Constitution.
16th - Income taxes on all income no matter how derived. (SURPRISE!! to Al Capone)
17th - Direct popular election of the Senate - had been appointed by state legislatures since 1789
18th - (aka Prohibition) made transport, sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages illegal
Enabled by Volstead Act that defined alcoholic beverages as containing more than 1/2% alcohol.
19th - Extended federal suffrage to female Americans. (Most women did not vote until after WWII)
