The Choice #945 Friday, October 17, 2025

As the current administration and MAGA Republicans continue to take illegal and unconstitutional actions on practically a daily basis, a reminder that here at We Are Speaking, we are publishing an article about each of the Amendments to the Constitution every week on Fridays. You can search the archive on our website to view previous articles.

The 18th Amendment, ratified on January 16, 1919, and going into effect on January 17, 1920, established the prohibition of “intoxicating liquors” in the United States by banning the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcoholic beverages.
