The prohibition was one of the biggest failures from the government to abolish some of the peoples rights. The idea behind it was that the domestic violence situation was becoming a really big problem in the United States since now the females were actually heard by the rest of the nation. Not to say that the problem was not urgent it was just never brought up by any of the males that were in charge. The reason i think for this was because the females did not have the right to vote so therefore there was no reason to think about them in the manner of pleasing them to get more votes. But all of a sudden women are stating to get heard so all the men began to fear, that maybe it was a good idea to stop all of this domestic violence in the homes. Therefore they came up with the conclusion that it was the alcohol that caused all the violence and all the criminal activities in the country. I am not here to mention all the things we have learnt in class but instead I want to point out that if women's rights was an important topic way before it was, then maybe this would never have happened. Which in turn would have made the Prohibition nothing but an idea. I know this became very convoluted but what i am trying to say is that if women would have gotten better rights earlier in the timeline of this country then maybe the nation would have looked very much different.
