Prohibition

Question 3 • [HSSUS] US History, Sem 1 (26-27)

Which of the following contributed to the passage of the Eighteenth Amendment? Check all of the boxes that apply.

Answer
A
the campaigning of the Anti-Saloon League
B
the passage of the Sixteenth Amendment
C
the importance of liquor taxes to the government

Explanation

The Anti-Saloon League organized and campaigned for nationwide prohibition, helping build support for the Eighteenth Amendment. The Sixteenth Amendment created a federal income tax, giving the government another source of revenue and making it less dependent on taxes from liquor. The importance of liquor taxes worked against prohibition, rather than contributing to its passage.
