Question

Prohibition became the law of the land with the passage of the eighteenth amendment. it was intended to prevent people from selling and drinking alcohol. what was one of the reasons that the law was not effective

Answer 1

Speakeasies were created as places to drink alcohol.

Answer 2

I would say that one of the main reasons that prohibition was not effective was because of bootlegging whereby many people operated stills to produce alcohol clandestinely and so many people could still get alcohol, in this case home made.
