Did the growth in the powers of the federal government during the new deal benefit the nation?

Government growth in the 1920s was less than in any subsequent decade and resulted in the Great Depression. The 1920s fall between two well-known eras of government growth: the Progressive era prior to World War I, and the New Deal of the 1930s. It was the New Deal's increase inGovernment power through regulation, such as the creation of the SEC, which saved capitalism and brought this nation from the brink of no return.


Which amendment is about alcoholic beverages?

Actually, there are two amendments about alcoholic beverages, or Prohibition. "Prohibition" was about prohibiting (banning, forbidding) the possession of alcohol. The first amendment to address the issue was the 18th Amendment, in 1920. But while banning alcohol seemed like a great idea to its proponents, it was wildly unpopular and more difficult to enforce than anyone had expected, plus it led to an increase in criminal activity (smuggling liquor into the country, for example). By the early 1930s, that amendment was ready for repeal, and the 21st Amendment did in fact repeal it in 1933.
