Conclusion
The Prohibition took away the right to drink, and did the exact opposite of what it was intended to do. It caused violence and crime and lots of gangsters. It took away their rights, and the people who created the 18th Amendment had the responsibility of all the crime that was because of the Prohibition. The Gangsters also had the responsibility of the crimes they committed and the alcohol they had to smuggle. The repeal of the 18th amendment was widely celebrated in the 30s, but is still celebrated today. On December 5, 2013, New York bars around the city had a toast to long end of Prohibition.
“Why don’t they pass a Constitutional Amendment prohibiting anybody from learning anything? If it works as good as Prohibition did, in five years we will have the smartest people on earth.”
