Those against prohibition believed it hurt their culture and would take away rights.
Prohibition was opposed by many new immigrant groups where drinking was a part of their culture and their religion (especially Catholics). It was targeted at lower classes as well taking away the one leisure activity many of them could afford--going to the bar. Owners of alcohol industries argued it would hurt the economy taking away the tax on alcohol and the government didn't have the right to take away the drink.
People who were not free were slaves as they did not have the rights to their own life at that time. So only free people were allowed the rights of the Magna carta
