2.) Enforcing Prohibitiona.) Evidence of the 18th amendment's initial success includes a reduction in alcohol consumption, arrests for public intoxication, and a decline in alcohol-related diseases during the early years of Prohibition.b.) The early success of the amendment was artificial due to a rise in illicit activities such as bootlegging and speakeasies, which undermined the intended effects of Prohibition. Organized crime also flourished during this period.c.) People cleverly disobeyed the law by engaging in activities like speakeasies (illegal bars), creating hidden compartments in their homes for storing alcohol, and using coded language to discuss and order alcoholic beverages.3.) Bootlegginga.) "Bootlegging" refers to the illegal production, distribution, and sale of alcoholic beverages, particularly during Prohibition in the 1920s when the manufacturing and sale of alcohol were banned.b.) The term "bootlegging" originated from the practice of concealing flasks of liquor in the tops of one's boots. Smugglers would hide small bottles in their boot legs to discreetly transport and sell alcohol without detection.
