Good afternoon community, The answers to last week's trivia questions are: What was the number of the Amendment that ushered in the era of Prohibition? The 18th Amendment When did the 18th Amendment go into effect? January 17, 1920 @ midnight The second question was a bit tricky, since there are multiple dates in the Amendment's timeline. It was proposed by Congress in 1917, ratified by 36 states in January 1919, and its enforcement Law - the Volstead Act - approved by Congress in October 1919.
