Concurrent powers such as law enforcement emphasize cooperation between federal and state governments but such was not the case during the era of Prohibition. Please comment on the degree of teamwork exercised by national, state, and local law enforcement officials in the enforcement of both the 18th Amendment and the Volstead Act. Legislation aimed at combating the use of alcohol backfired during the Prohibition era. Instead of serving to combat crime, the 18th Amendment and the Volstead Act contributed to an increase of crime in America during the late 1920s and early 1930s. Please refute or defend this statement.
Morality refers to rules of conduct that are exercised by a given society.
These rules of behavior have been passed down to members of a given society through the teaching of parents, clergy, and others. Using the documents that have been presented, evaluate how successful the United States government was in trying to legislate morality for the American people. During certain time periods in American history, the right of individual privacy has been violated by overzealous law enforcement officials who believed that their actions were justified by what they saw as a serious threat to American values. Please use examples to defend your answer. With Prohibition prices doubled, tripled and quadrupled, but supplies were so plentiful and competition among bootleggers grew so fierce that they eventually dropped back.
