What Prohibition Has Done to America by Fabian Franklin
QR code
"What Prohibition Has Done to America" by Fabian Franklin is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book provides a critical examination of the impact of Prohibition in the United States, focusing on its implications for constitutional law, personal liberty, and societal norms. Franklin argues against the legitimacy of the Eighteenth Amendment, suggesting it not only contravenes individual freedoms but also undermines the federal system of governance. At the
start of the work, Franklin introduces the notion that the U.S. Constitution was designed to protect fundamental rights and prevent the majority from imposing its will on the minority. He critiques the Eighteenth Amendment for subverting this purpose, labeling it a "constitutional monstrosity." The opening chapters delve into the ramifications of Prohibition, highlighting how it creates a nation of lawbreakers and diminishes respect for the law among severely affected citizens. Through his arguments, Franklin sets the stage for a broader discourse on the essential need for personal liberties and the dangers of majority tyranny intrinsic to Prohibitionist policies.
