Answer 2

Answer: D) The movement believed people should decrease the amount of alcohol they drank.

The temperance movement was a social movement that oppossed the consumption of alcoholic beverages. The movement was successful in pushing for new laws to regulate the selling of alcohol or its availability. While the movement was prominent in many countries during the 19th and 20th century, it is most famous for giving rise to the Prohibition Era in the United States.

The temperance movement advocated for moderation, rather than a complete prohibition of alcohol. Its members focused on the moral, economical and medical effects of overindulgence, and concentrated on moral advice rather than advocating for legal measures. However, the movement gave rise to Teetotalism, which defended a complete ban on alcoholic beverages.
