Card 9 / 16:
Why did the prohibition amendment fail after its adoption in 1919?
The prohibition amendment failed due to its infeasibility. It lacked both public support and funds for its enforcement. It also lessened Americans’ respect for law and order, and sparked a rise in unlawful activities, such as illegal alcohol production and organized crime.
