Answer 1

The Eighteenth Amendment does not align with the trend of expanding suffrage in the U.S.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Eighteenth Amendment does not reflect a larger trend in U.S. history of expanding suffrage to more and more groups. The Eighteenth Amendment, ratified in 1919, introduced Prohibition, which prohibited the production, sale, and distribution of alcoholic beverages. Suffrage, on the other hand, refers to the right to vote. While the Fifteenth, Nineteenth, and Twenty-Sixth Amendments extended suffrage to different groups (specifically, African American men, women, and eighteen-year-olds, respectively), the Eighteenth Amendment did not directly impact suffrage rights.
