The United States originally had a prohibition and then repealed for what reason?

Because the U.S. treasury can't afford it. A ban on the entire U.S. liquor industry means that the tax revenue of an industry is lost, and in the same way, it requires a large amount of financial expenditure in the process of enforcing the ban, which makes Prohibition an out-and-out loss-making deal. Coupled with the economic crisis, Prohibition was lifted.

Because the long-term prohibition of alcohol has had a very heavy impact on the economic development of the United States and the wine industry, it has also brought a great blow to the American economy due to the reduction of living standards in the United States.

Historical Context

Many of the early immigrants left their European homeland for religious reasons. These were called "Puritans."

The founders of the United States brought their religious fervor across the Atlantic, making it an extremely important factor in the formation of the American nation. "Puritans" are also those who advocate the fear of God and live an honest life. By the mid-19th century, residents of some parts of the United States were resorting to legal recourse.

Reining in the greedy, this folk movement rose and fell, stretching endlessly, and finally set off a tide in the early 20th century.

Prohibition of alcohol is enforced

Prohibition in the United States.

It was based on the 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified on January 16, 1919.

and the Volstead Act, passed on October 28, 1919, and enforced on January 16, 1920, when the 18th Constitutional Amendment came into effect, and was enforced by federal Prohibition agents (police), who were primarily driven by the Republican Party.

and the Prohibition Party. There were also anti-Prohibition groups that brought about many changes in the United States before the national prohibition began, with three states outlawing alcohol in 1905, nine in 1912, and 26 of the 48 states by 1916.

Legal Analysis: The reason is that alcohol is the root cause of crime.

1. It was caused by the women's movement. Since alcoholism caused a lot of domestic violence, a ban on alcohol was introduced to protect women's rights.

2. Alcohol is also religiously associated with sin, and is also opposed by religious organizations.

Legal basis: The Eighteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution

1. One year after the ratification of this article, it is forbidden to brew, **, and transport intoxicating liquor as beverages in the United States and all territories under its jurisdiction; The import or export of such liquor into or out of the United States and all territories under its jurisdiction is prohibited.

Section 2 Congress and the Länder shall have the power to implement this article by appropriate legislation.

Section 3 This Article shall not have effect unless ratified as a constitutional amendment by the State Legislatures in accordance with the provisions of this Constitution within seven years from the date on which it is submitted to the States by Congress.

Walstead's Law prohibits intoxicating drinks; control of the production, sale or transport of intoxicated liquor (but not consumption); Ensure adequate alcohol** and promote its use in scientific research and development of fuels and dyes, as well as other legal industrial and practical applications, such as religious ceremonies; No person shall produce, sell, barter, transport, import, export, transport or supply any intoxicating liquor except as authorized by the Act.

What happened before and after Prohibition in the United States?

I only know the history of prohibition in Russia.

The United States has a strong Puritan tradition, and many people pursue a "clean" life. In the mid-19th century, residents of some parts of the United States began to seek legal action against alcoholics. This call is gradually echoing across the country, and women's organizations, whose mission is to preserve the traditional family, are the main force among them.

Finally, in 1919, the U.S. Congress passed the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution, also known as the National Prohibition Act, which made all production, sale, and consumption of alcohol illegal from the following year.

One can imagine the consequences of a national prohibition. In fact, surreptitiously violating Prohibition was so common at the time that the law became almost the biggest joke in American history. More than ten years later, the Great Depression broke out in the United States, and alcohol became a pet to comfort the soul, so Roosevelt clearly proposed to repeal Prohibition in his election platform.

In 1933, the U.S. Congress passed the 21st Amendment to the Constitution, replacing the Eighth Amendment. The nationwide prohibition was declared a complete failure.

A total of 13 years.

From 0:00 a.m. on January 17, 1920, the 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the Prohibition Act (also known as the "Volstein Act"), came into effect. Under this law, it is illegal to manufacture, sell or even transport beverages with an alcohol content of more than that. It is not an offense to drink at home, but it is an offense to drink with friends or hold a drinking party, which carries a maximum fine of $1,000 and imprisonment for six months.

Only people over the age of 21 can buy alcohol, and proof of age is required, and it can only be purchased in limited places. By the end of the 20s, about 10 years after the U.S. Prohibition, many Americans began to call for a relaxation of the ban. Perhaps it was because it was the time of the great economic crisis in the United States, and the whole country was in a state of panic, and the prohibition of alcohol was even more excessive.

In 1932, Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt campaigned for the liberalization of alcohol as one of his platforms. In February 1933, the U.S. Congress passed the second.

Prohibition in the United States is lifted.

11. Constitutional amendments to repeal the Eighth Amendment to the prohibition of alcohol. The following year, with Utah becoming the 36th state to sign the relaxation law, the nationwide prohibition in the United States came to an end.

It was implemented from the date of entry into force of the 18th Constitutional Amendment on January 16, 1920, until it was revoked at 5:31 p.m. on December 8, 1933, which lasted for 13 years, 10 months, 19 days, 17 hours and 31 minutes.

Isn't it time to set the level age? It should also be considered a ban on bars.
