What was banned by one amendment and then reinstated when the amendment was repealed?

The correct answer relates to the Prohibition era in the United States, where the consumption of alcoholic beverages was banned by the 18th Amendment to the Constitution. This amendment, ratified in 1919, made it illegal to manufacture, sell, or transport alcohol in the United States. However, due to widespread disregard for the law, significant issues with organized crime, and the economic challenges faced during the Great Depression, public opinion began to shift.

As a result, the 21st Amendment was ratified in 1933, effectively repealing the 18th Amendment and reinstating the legal consumption of alcoholic beverages. This repeal marked a significant change in American law and societal norms, reflecting the complexities of regulating personal behavior through legislation. The other options do not fit this context; personal income tax has been consistently levied since the 16th Amendment, slavery was abolished and was not reinstated, and presidential term limits were established with the 22nd Amendment, which does not have a repealed counterpart.
