Prohibition was a nationwide constitutional ban on the production, importation, transportation, and sale of Alcoholic Beverages in the United States, enacted through the 18th Amendment in 1920 and lasting until its repeal in 1933. It aimed to reduce crime, corruption, and social problems associated with alcohol consumption, ultimately promoting a healthier and more moral society. However, instead of achieving its goals, Prohibition led to the rise of organized crime, illegal speakeasies, and widespread disregard for the law.
