History

anastassius [24]2 years ago

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.

was the work of allama Iqbal more important to the pakistan movement than chawdry rehmat ali? explain your answer​
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Both were equally important.

Explanation:

We cannot deny the importance of the two men mentioned above when we think about the creation of the Pakistani state and the feeling of nationalism among the people of that region. While Allama Iqbal was the great architect of Pakistan and a great activist in the name of the sovereignty and rights of that nation, Chawdry Rehamat Ali was a great thinker and poet where he embraced political issues and exaggerated the Pakistani sense of nationalism. This sense of nationalism was essential to the independence of Pakistan, designed by Iqbal to be a reality. In this case, we can say that both are extremely important.
