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

History

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 important anti-federalist ideas expressed with the expert from the anti-federalist papers
I am Lyosha [343]

This excerpt from the Anti-Federalist Papers clearly represents the arguments as to why a bill of rights is necessary. This excerpt outlines how a federal government with too much control can result in no individual liberties for citizens. Along with this, it also outlines how too weak a federal government results in an ineffective government. This is why the author of this excerpt favors a bill of rights, as this will clearly outline the rights of citizens while also allowing for the federal government to have enough power to provide protection for these citizens without taking away their liberties.

15. How did the US respond to Villa's actions?
navik [9.2K]

The US respond to Villa's actions by The Pershing expedition

<u>Explanation:</u>

Since 1910 the Mexican revolution was causing utter destruction. In 1916, a leader named “Pancho” Villa crossed the Mexico border entered U.S and burnt down the Columbus town. It was actually an act of revenge that he wanted to take as Venustiano Carranza was declared as President of Mexico surpassing him.

Villa raided and took materials of war as he was desperate to take over the ammunition's and create a stir among the American government. This raid of Columbus definitely drew the attraction of the U.S. to wage a war against Mexico. The U.S responded by sending troops led by General Pershing in search of Villa which was unsuccessful.
