1920's Investigation (Crime & Law) by Timothy Gonzalez https://padlet.com/sd54/uyo7936ofqvd en-us 2017-12-20 14:41:11 UTC 2024-03-26 19:04:08 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Diskette.png 18th Amendment 125984 https://padlet.com/sd54/uyo7936ofqvd/wish/217502381  The 18th Amendment started a age called prohibition. This amendment banned manufacture, transport, and sale of any alcoholic beverages.]]> 2017-12-20 14:49:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sd54/uyo7936ofqvd/wish/217502381 21st Amendment 125984 https://padlet.com/sd54/uyo7936ofqvd/wish/217503512 The 21st Amendment repealed the 18th Amendment, allowing again the manufacture, transport, and sale of alcoholic beverages. This happened because prohibition ended up negatively affecting america.]]> 2017-12-20 14:52:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sd54/uyo7936ofqvd/wish/217503512 Reason For The 18th Amendment 125984 https://padlet.com/sd54/uyo7936ofqvd/wish/217707447 The 18th Amendment's Purpose was to make America more healthy. Because alcohol can cause:
"
  • Slurring of speech.
  • Drowsiness.
  • Emotional changes.
  • Sleep disruption.
  • Lowering of body temperature.
And other effects" https://drugabuse.com/library/the-effects-of-alcohol-use
Because of this, the government wanted people to stop drinking alcohol, and become better and more healthy people as a nation. This, however, backfired.

This, backfired, as because when a item is banned, people want it even more. According to https://www.futuresofpalmbeach.com/addiction-research/history-impact-prohibition-america, ""Gangsters involved in organized crime families (i.e., the mafia) saw an opportunity to profit from Prohibition and muscled into the illegal business of manufacturing, transporting, and selling illegal alcohol." So, while Prohibition was meant to decrease crime, it ended up increasing it as Prohibition opened more opportunities for criminals.]]> 2017-12-21 14:29:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sd54/uyo7936ofqvd/wish/217709318 Loopholes 125984 https://padlet.com/sd54/uyo7936ofqvd/wish/217710727 Even if people weren't criminals, they still found loopholes around prohibition. As https://www.futuresofpalmbeach.com/addiction-research/history-impact-prohibition-america states, "While many supported Prohibition, plenty did not and they found creative ways to flout the law, including making “moonshine” or “bathtub gin” in private homes." People found loopholes to make "non-alcoholic" mixtures that weren't technically illegal. Some criminals sold these mixtures for profit.]]> 2017-12-21 14:33:50 UTC https://padlet.com/sd54/uyo7936ofqvd/wish/217710727 Unconstitutional 125984 https://padlet.com/sd54/uyo7936ofqvd/wish/217712075 Eventually, judges found a way to make prohibition "Unconstitutional".]]> 2017-12-21 14:38:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sd54/uyo7936ofqvd/wish/217712075
