Question

Whats the 18th amendment? Explain when the amendment was made and why it was made

Answer 1

The 18th amendment was ratified in early 1919, and the new amendment prohibited the sale and consumption of any sort of alcohol. Many people rebelled, and underground illegal places, such as speakeasies, carried alcohol. Many political leaders believed that eliminating alcohol would solve societal issues including poverty; however, this did not solve it.
