The correct answer would be A. The 18th amendment stated that the selling and production of alcohol was illegal, however it did not specify that consuming alcohol was illegal. Using this as an advantage, many bars stocked up on alcohol and kept it hidden, and then would illegally sell to those that knew they were in possession.
The correct answer is A) Organized crime controlled illegal alcohol production.
The reason that contributed to the failure of Prohibition was that organized crime controlled illegal alcohol production.
The United States Constitution banned the production, selling, and consumption of alcohol beverages. It started in 1920 and ended in 1933.
Protestant religious organizations exert pressure on the government to prohibit alcohol in America to prevent and cure the many problems that created corruption in the government and society.
But the problem was that alcohol could be sold in the black market. Organized crime controlled the alcohol business and people continued to but it for years.
