Best Answer

It could be argued that prohibition violated the freedom of religion guaranteed by the First Amendment. However, according to multiple state supreme court decisions going back to 1855, prohibition laws were a violation of the US Constitution. This is why The 18th Amendment needed to be written to enact prohibition.
