Detailed explanation-1: -Nationwide Prohibition lasted from 1920 until 1933. The Eighteenth Amendment-which illegalized the manufacture, transportation, and sale of alcohol-was passed by the U.S. Congress in 1917. In 1919 the amendment was ratified by the three-quarters of the nation’s states required to make it constitutional.
Detailed explanation-2: -Prohibition remained in effect until the Twenty-First Amendment in 1933. This amendment repealed, or canceled, the Eighteenth Amendment. With the end of Prohibition, organized temperance movements declined in popularity and in power.
Detailed explanation-3: -Participants in the movement typically criticize alcohol intoxication or promote teetotalism, and its leaders emphasize alcohol’s negative effects on people’s health, personalities and family lives.

Shortly after the amendment was ratified, Congress passed the Volstead Act to provide for the federal enforcement of Prohibition.
