Prohibition, enacted in the United States through the 18th Amendment in 1920, aimed to reduce crime and corruption, improve health, and enhance social morality by banning the production, sale, and transportation of Alcoholic Beverages. Advocates believed that alcohol was a primary cause of social issues, including poverty and domestic violence. However, the policy led to unintended consequences, such as the rise of organized crime and widespread disregard for the law, ultimately resulting in its repeal in 1933 with the 21st Amendment.
