Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The 18th Amendment was a long process in the making. In 1851, Maine became the first state to individually ban liquor except when used medicinally. Twelve other states followed soon after, supported by individual governors. The number of dry states was insufficient, however, to allow for the passage of prohibition until 1916, when Congress seats became filled with members of temperance movements like the Anti-Saloon League. The 18th Amendment was proposed to President Woodrow Wilson on October 27, 1919, when it was vetoed by him. Within a day, both the House and the Senate overrode President Wilson's veto and the amendment was ratified to the Constitution.
