What law was most responsible for bootlegging speakeasies and organized crime?

The 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1919, was most responsible for bootlegging, speakeasies, and the rise of organized crime. This amendment prohibited the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcoholic beverages, leading to a high demand for illegal alcohol. As a result, speakeasies—secret bars where alcohol was served—flourished, and organized crime syndicates emerged to supply the illegal market, significantly influencing American society during the Prohibition era.
