The 18th Amendment, ratified in 1919, established the prohibition of alcohol in the United States, making it illegal to manufacture, sell, or transport intoxicating liquors. The Volstead Act, enacted alongside the amendment, provided the legal framework for enforcing Prohibition by defining what constituted an intoxicating beverage and outlining penalties for violations. Together, they aimed to reduce alcohol consumption and its associated social issues, but ultimately led to widespread illegal activity and the rise of organized crime. Prohibition was eventually repealed by the 21st Amendment in 1933.
