Explain the 18th amendment

Answer 1

It began the Prohibition era, which basically banned all sale, transport, and consumption of alcohol (except for religious purposes). It was ratified on 16 January, 1919. It was repealed on 5 December, 1933 by the 21st Amendment because of extreme increases in organized crime due to rum-running, and underground bars.

• the manufacture, sale and transportation within the United States

of intoxicating liquors intended to be used as beverages. This amendment introduced the era of "Prohibition" since Alcoholic Beverages were prohibited. The federal statue called the Volstead Act set forth the various ways and means for carrying out this prohibition

Ironically, the amendment did not ban the drinking of alcoholic beverages, which was what the promoters of the amendment actually wanted to do.
