The 18th revision of the U.S Constitution which authorized the prohibition of the production, transportation, and trading of liquors–accompany in an era of American history known as Prohibition. This is the result of a universal abstinence movement during the first decade of the 2oth century. Forbidding was hard to impose, despite the passage of companion legislation known as the Volstead Act. The expanding of the unlawful manufacture and sale of liquor which also known as bootlegging, the rapid reproduction of an illicit liquor store or nightclub. And the accompanying rise in gang cruelty and other misdemeanors led to decrease support for prohibition by the end of the 1920s. Congress embrace a resolution in early 1933, suggesting a 21st amendment to the constitution that would revoke the 18th. It was approved by the end of the same year which brings the prohibition era to a close.
