Congress passes the Volstead Act over President Woodrow Wilson’s veto. The Volstead Act provided for the enforcement of the 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, also known as the Prohibition Amendment.

The movement for the prohibition of alcohol began in the early 19th century, when Americans concerned about the adverse effects of drinking began forming temperance societies. By the late 19th century, these groups had become a powerful political force, campaigning on the state level and calling for national liquor abstinence. In December 1917, the 18th Amendment, prohibiting the “manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes,” was passed by Congress and sent to the states for ratification. In January 1919, the 18th amendment achieved the necessary two-thirds majority of state ratification, and prohibition became the law of the land.

The Volstead Act, passed nine months later, provided for the enforcement of prohibition, including the creation of a special unit of the Treasury Department.

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

1st and 4th

Explanation:

The war demanded huge expenses, and the Confederate government finally had to introduce taxing slave owners. Also, the Confederation tax policy was characterized by a desire to increase indirect taxes. In 1861, a law was passed introducing a tax on all exported cotton. The tax was levied at the rate of an eighth of a cent for every pound of exported cotton. The war had protracted nature, and on April 24, 1863 the Confederate government was forced to introduce a direct tax on land, slaves, and all other sources of income.  In addition, the Government of the Confederation took measures that allowed the mass requisition of slaves, livestock, and food for the needs of the army.
