28 out 1919 ano - Volstead Act

Descrição:

The Volstead Act, officially known as the National Prohibition Act, was passed by Congress in October 1919 to enforce the 18th Amendment, which established the legal prohibition of alcohol in the United States. The act defined intoxicating liquors and provided for the enforcement mechanisms, including penalties, necessary to prevent the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcoholic beverages, though it faced widespread resistance and led to significant legal and illicit alcohol production and distribution.
