The Eighteenth Amendment, ratified in 1919, established the prohibition of alcohol in the United States. It was later repealed by the Twenty-first Amendment. This amendment does not pertain to the election of senators.

The Nineteenth Amendment, ratified in 1920, granted women the right to vote. It is a significant milestone in the women's suffrage movement but does not address the election of senators.
