repeal. 1) v. to annul an existing law, by passage of a repealing statute, or by public vote on a referendum. Repeal of U. S. Constitutional provisions require an amendment, as with the repeal of prohibition in which the 21st Amendment repealed the 18th Amendment. 2) n. the act of annulling a statute.
The 21st Amendment to the United States Constitution was passed, repealing the 18th Amendment, which outlawed trafficking in 'intoxicating liquors.' The 21st Amendment was pasâ¦sed in order to undo the 18th Amendment. In short, a constitutional amendment, or any law, is repealed when it is found unconstitutional.
