Would Calvin Coolidge have been more likely to support or oppose the 18th amendment?

Calvin Coolidge, who served as President from 1923 to 1929, is generally considered to have supported the 18th Amendment, which established Prohibition in the United States. He believed in limited government intervention and upheld the law as a reflection of moral values. However, his administration also focused on business and economic growth, which led to an ambivalent stance on Prohibition's impact on society and the economy. Overall, while he likely supported the amendment initially, his pragmatic approach may have led him to reconsider its consequences.

Who led Calvin Coolidge to be president?

His father served in the Vermont legislature and held various local offices, so Coolidge had an early exposure to government and politics. He earned his living as a lawyer and that naturally led him into politics, starting with the school board, the city council and mayor, and continuing into state legislature, the lieutenant governor position. and finally governor of Mass. He became active in the national Republican Committee and was nominated for vice-president in 1920, won and became President when Harding died. I do not think he ever thought much about being President until he was rather surprisingly nominated for vice-president and even then probably not much because Harding was rather young and seemed to be in good health.
