Which act led to Prohibition?

• A. Harrison Act
• B. Volstead Act
• C. Mann Act
• D. Pure Food and Drug Act

Answer: (B)

Prohibition was made enforceable through the Volstead Act, which provided the practical framework for the 18th Amendment. It defined what counted as intoxicating liquor and laid out the penalties, enforcement powers, and agencies needed to police the manufacture, sale, and transport of alcohol. In short, the Volstead Act put the Prohibition policy into effect. The other acts addressed different issues: the Harrison Act regulated narcotics, the Mann Act dealt with transporting people for immoral purposes, and the Pure Food and Drug Act focused on food and drug safety and labeling.
