What fraction of the states had to approve the Constitution before it became the law of the land?
2/3 of the states had to approve it before the Constitution became the law of the land. But even then it was only the law of the land for the states that had ratified it..
Did Teddy Roosevelt accomplish prohibition?
Nope! The 18th amendment (prohibition of alcohol) was passed under Woodrow Wilson in 1920--even though Wilson was not a supporter.
Can the constitution be change?
Yes, the Constitution can be changed by the amendment process. In any case, yes, constitutions can be changed, especially through amendments, though the process is often slow. It is a slow process which is the way the Framers intended.Only by adding a new amendment to the Constitution. Nothing can ever be taken out. The only time an amendment has changed an older amendment is in the case of Prohibition.

Who then would succeed the Dauphin? If at first you don't succeed, try, try again! I am trying to succeed in composing a proper answer to this question even as we speak!
Why is the 18 amendment important today?
The 18th Amendment of 1919 gave the Federal government the power to ban the manufacture, possession or use of Alcoholic Beverages. It was an utter disaster, and was repealed in 1933. The prohibition of alcohol, sometimes just called "Prohibition", was a major stimulus to the growth of organized crime syndicates in the US and fostered enormous disrespect for the law. Some families like the Kennedys made enormous fortunes on the smuggling trade as "rumrunners", and that wealth has been used to foster disregard for the law and other distasteful political adventures. Even worse, the imposition of Prohibition gave the government a foundation of case law that defies the Constitution. The Constitution does not give the government the power or authority to regulate personal behavior; laws enacted on the basis of Prohibition have been expanded to control other drugs and to create a huge bureaucracy to control the behavior of every citizen.
In the nineteenth century did prohibition stop people from drinking?
No, infact it made them drink even more!
Did any states continue with Prohibtion even though it was abolished?
Yes, especially in the South where the law was popular. Mississippi was the last to end a statewide prohibition of alcohol in the 1960s, but on a local level, there is still prohibition in some counties today.

Why is it important that all 13 states ratify the constitution?
It was important for all the states to ratify the constitution so that it would last longer. Without amendments and the flexibility of the constitution, eventually the states probably would have gotten rid of the constitution and began a new one until it satisfied the requirements of each state.
Did Albert Einstein even failed and then only succeed?
Yes, because he wrote "i will try harder"
How might life in the 1920s have been different without Prohibition?
Honestly, Prohibition was quite ineffective in its cause, in fact it did the opposite of what the Temperance Crusaders hoped for (believing it would protect families, women, and children from the effects of alcohol abuse). The 18th Amendment was ratified and in place to eliminate the sale and use of (drinking) alcohol. However, Prohibition didn't even come close to doing so. Instead, organized crime (robbery, bootlegging, murder, etc.) increased due to the outlawing of alcohol. Not to mention that increased efforts to enforce Prohibition simply resulted in the government spending more money, rather than less. The economic cost of Prohibition became especially pronounced during the Great Depression, and eventually in 1933 state conventions ratified the twenty first (21st) amendment which repealed the prohibition of alcohol. Therefore, the only thing that would have been different without prohibition would be less organized crime and more money in the government.
