Why didn't the federal local governments collect an excise tax on alcohol during prohibition

History
1 answer:
astraxan [27]3 years ago
4 0

For decades prior to the Prohibition (i.e., the legal ban of alcoholic drinks) made possible by the Eighteen Amendment, different Christian churches and organizations had been objecting to the consumption of alcohol since they considered it as the source of most debauchery and moral decadence. Their goal was made clear to the federal government: alcohol should be completely banned in order to clean society up. An excise tax on alcohol would have been rejected by all the moralistic groups advocating for prohibition as a mild and ineffective measure

What was lincolns purpose for writing the house divided speech
o-na [289]

Lincoln hoped to use a well-known figure of speech to help rouse the people to recognition of the magnitude of the ongoing debates over the legality of slavery. His use of this paraphrased metaphor is perhaps clearer when you look at some more of his speech:

"A house divided against itself cannot stand." I believe the government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved — I do not expect the house to fall — but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other. Either the opponents of slavery will arrest the further spread of it, and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in the course of ultimate extinction; or its advocates will push it forward till it shall become alike lawful in all the States, old as well as new — North as well as South.

As you can see, in this metaphor, the "house" refers to the Union — to the United States of America — and that house was divided between the opponents and advocates of slavery. Lincoln felt that the ideals of freedom for all and the institution of slavery could not coexist — morally, socially, or legally — under one nation. Slavery must ultimately be universally accepted or universally denied.

1-How did WWII impact the conflict over Palestine?
vivado [14]

Answer:

After the end of World War Two, the Jewish Holocaust and other Nazi atrocities imposed on the victorious allies a pressing moral issue: What to do with the Jews? The Jewish people needed to be given a country, a land of their own.

Jewish migration to Palestine, a British mandate that existed after WWI and until 1948, significantly increased after the war. Jews bought land from the Arabs, created kibbutzim and purchased property.

In 1947, the United Nations voted a resolution to provide a two-state solution once the British Mandate in Palestine had expired: one state for the Arabs and one state for the Jews. In May 1948, Israel is proclaimed. The Arab people did not acept the UN resolution and rejected it. War erupted, several neighboring nations and Arab Palestinian units attack Israel but suffered a sound defeat. This was the First Arab-Israeli War.

Excerpt from civil Disobedience
liq [111]

Answer:

According to the article "Excerpt from civil Disobedience" we can say that it is fair that we do not get involved in problems and disadvantages that are happening in the world, but for that we need to stop exploring each other, so that those who are stuck in these problems can fight your own fight.

Explanation:

"Civil Disobedience" is the most famous work by Henry David Thoreau, where he opposes the practice of paying taxes to governments. In "Excerpt from civil Disobedience" we can see that Thoreau says that no man has a responsibility to solve the problems that exist in the world. This reinforces the idea that nobody has a duty to pay taxes, because the government does not have this responsibility and if it does not fulfill it.

However, Thoreau says that these problems exist and that no one can be prevented from solving them. However, it is necessary that people who are involved in the problem are not exploited or prevented from fighting to solve these problems. We can see elements that serve as a basis for this argument, in our personal life, since we could overcome many of our problems if the State gave us full freedom to do so, instead of being obliged to finance problems of which we are not part.
