Answer 2

Prohibition made the sale of alcohol illegal in the United States.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

With the eighteenth amendment done to the Constitution in 1917, the manufacture, sale, and transportation within and from the United States was prohibited by law. This amendment came into effect from 1919.

The United States Congress believed that the prohibition of alcohol would bring in a change in the overall behavior of all the Americans and the crime and corruption rates would come down.

As an effect, the government expenditure on the maintenance of prisons and the prisoners would also come down. This prohibition had to be taken back as it gained popular outcry against its implementation.
