Anonymous · Answer

The National Prohibition Act, also known as the Volstead Act, was enacted in 1919 to enforce the Eighteenth Amendment, prohibiting the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcohol. Although intended to improve society, it led to widespread illegal alcohol production and consumption, ultimately contributing to its repeal in 1933. This period of American history is known as Prohibition and highlighted the complexities of regulating personal behavior through law.
