the 18Th amendment to the united states constitution banned the process of sale, transport, import and transfer of alcoholic drinks. The approval of the amendment congress approved this on October 1919. Also represented it into law as the national prohibition act of 1920. The duty to support the bill before congress went down to the chair of the judiciary committe, Andrew J. Volstead. U.S. Representative from the minnesota 7th Congressional Distric.
One year later from the approval of the 18th amendment which banneds any kind of transport of "Alcoholic Drinks" people started fighting back so that they can allow alcoholic drinks back. The reason why they banned the alcoholic drinks is because the human body doesnt respond quick to danger while toxicated. Which leads to the 21th Amendment , senator john Blaine of wisconsin submitted a resolution to congress proposing the submission to the states of the twenty-first Amendment , which would cancel the eighteenth. later on the Amendment was sent to the state governors. less than a year later after the twenty-first Amendment was submitted for approval, the necessary thirty-sixth state ratified the Amendment at 5:32 PM on december 5, 1933. president roosevelt signed the proclamation ending prohibition.
