Answer:

The correct answer is: "It was unpopular with a majority of Americans and also difficult to enforce".

The 18th amendment to the US Constitution was issued in 1917 and declared a nationwide prohibition of intoxicating liquors, which banned both the production and sale of alcoholic beverages. Subsequently the Volstead Act was issued too, for the enforcement of this 18th amendment.

Although there was a decrease in alcohol consumption the enforcement of these regulations was extremely complicated, criminal organizations arose and started to sell alcohol in the black markets. Moreover, the public opinion started to reject the Prohibition in the 1920s decade. In 1932 President Franklin D. Roosevelt claimed for its derogation and in 1933 the 21st amendment to the US Contitution was passed to repeal the previous 18th amendment. It is the only time in the US history that one amendment is only issued to overrule a previous one.

Northerners claimed the law was unfair. The flagrant violation of the Fugitive Slave Law set the scene for the tempest that emerged later in the decade. But for now, Americans hoped against hope that the fragile peace would prevail.

During the reign of Napoleon, many countries fought with France. What countries were France’s main enemies, and why did these co
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

The main opponents of Napoleon was Britain, and later joined by Austrio-Hungary, Germany, the Russian Empire, and many other smaller nations.

These countries felt a need to oppose France under Napoleon, for they themselves had monarch governments, and on seeing the French Revolution that led to the capitulation of the Royal government and civil unrest, which led to the rise of (what they thought) was a fanatical Bonaparte, they believed that, if their own people took a hold of the ways of the French, that they themselves would be thrown out of power. This led to the governments of these other nations to band together to throw Bonaparte out and reinstate the royal family to re-balance the royal structure in Europe.
