how was the prohibition amendment approved
The Prohibition Law. On January 16th 1919, the United States ratified the 18th amendment, which prohibited the manufacture and sale of alcohol. Even though the people pushing for prohibition had good intentions, prohibition ended up causing more problems. The bad outcomes of prohibition outweighed the âgoodâ.rohibition lasted for thirteen years before the 21st amendment, which repealed the 18th amendment and was proposed by Congress on February 20, 1933. It passed the Senate with a sixty-three to twenty-one vote and then passed the House with a 298 to 121 vote.
