Prohibition
The 18th Amendment enacted Prohibition. It proved to be highly unpopular, and was largely ignored by the population who continued to drink at speakeasies. The crime rate skyrocketed under Prohibition, as gangsters like Al Capone made fortunes bootlegging alcohol. The Government decided to cancel the 18th Amendment as it was ineffective and unpopular. The 21st Amendment repealed Prohibition.
Prohibition was difficult to police because of widespread public disregard for the law, which led to underground speakeasies and illegal alcohol production. Organized crime syndicates also profited from bootlegging and smuggling operations, making it challenging for law enforcement to effectively enforce the ban on alcohol.
