How did the passage of the 18th Amendment and the Volstead Act change the role of the Federal government?

In the End… Prohibition was the most ignored law in American History. “Morality Cannot be Legislated”

Repealed the 18th Amendment! Prohibition Repealed! 21st Amendment – 1933 Repealed the 18th Amendment! No More Prohibition!
