The article was first proposed to the people on 1917. After two years of talking it over finally something happened. The article was finally ratified, by all of the 48 states at the time. On January 16, of 1919 the United States prohibited all manufacturing, transportation, sale, importation into the United States and exportation in the United States of alcohol. The laws were strict on this amendment. All states had concurrent power to enforce this law by appropriate legislation. The only way the article could be repealed is if another amendment changed the law and ratified to the constitution by many states but it had to be at least seven years from the date the prohibition act was ratified.

eople of the United States did not agree with this idea. They decided to do something about this act and take matters into their own hands.

The society of drinkers grew larger and larger by the day. With many suppliers, all of the United States was being secretly supplied with alcohol. Most of the suppliers became very rich and influential selling alcohol. This raised the numbers of organized crime in America. This became worse once another issue was brought to hand.

This act gave no rights to the citizens of drinking. But to the non-alcoholics it gave many different rights and freedoms. The people that did not drink in the United States had safer homes, and safer life, and overall a better life before the outburst of drinkers. Then it went back to its hold habits of people drinking tremendous amounts of alcohol at a time but in more secrecy.

It did not take long for people to begin their protest. Less than one hour after prohibition took effect six gunmen hijacked a train in Chicago and stole over $100,000 worth of whiskey that was marked for medicinal use.

Finally, the prohibition act was over. Prohibition was repealed wit
