I’m your own words explain the 18th amendment to the U.S. constitution

History

Kay [80]2 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

The 18th Amendment prohibited the sale of, the transportation of, the manufacturing of any alcoholic beverage. It did have the effect of enforcing a decline in deaths related to alcohol, but it did not entirely fulfill its intent.

Crime increased. Criminal activity increased. Al Capone became one of the richest man in America from the proceeds of black market alcohol. His 100K in the 20s would make his net worth about 18 billion in today's dollars.

The 18th became law in 1919. It was repealed in 1933 just 4 years later. It is the only amendment that suffered this fate.

How did the relationship between great britain and the united states change from 1800-1848?
Paladinen [302]
The War of 1812.

A war between the US and G. Britain caused by American outrage over the impressment of American sailors by the British, the seizing of American ships, and British aid to the Native Indians attacking the Americans on the western frontier. All this enhances the feeling of nationalism among the Americans and caused the war of 1812.

The fear that the United States would be drawn into costly foreign wars was the main reason that the US Senate rejected:
bixtya [17]

Answer:  The Treaty of Versailles -- which included provision for the League of Nations.

Explanation:

The main reason that the US Senate refused to ratify the Treaty of Versailles was it would mean the US would enter into the League of Nations.  Senators believed  that doing so meant giving up some of the United States' own sovereignty and could commit the US to defend other nations' security rather than its own.  The Senators feared the US would be drawn into costly foreign wars if they committed to the terms of the Treaty of Versailles.   Thus, the United States never joined the League of Nations, in spite of the fact that an organization such as the League of Nations was the signature idea of US President Woodrow Wilson.  He had laid out 14 Points for establishing and maintaining world peace following the Great War (World War I).  Point #14 was the establishment of an international peacekeeping association.

The Treaty of Versailles adopted Wilson's idea and called for the creation of the League of Nations.  But back home in the United States, there was not support for involving America in any association that could diminish US sovereignty over its own affairs or involve the US again in wars beyond those pertinent to the United States' own national security.   Because of its objections to membership in the League of Nations, the United States Senate refused to ratify the Treaty of Versailles.
