Summary

"What Prohibition Has Done to America" by Fabian Franklin is a sharp look at how banning alcohol changed the United States. It questions whether Prohibition truly fits with what the Constitution intended, suggesting that it messes with individual freedoms and the balance of power in the country. The book kicks off by pointing out that the Constitution is supposed to protect everyone's rights, not just let the majority rule, and it challenges the idea that the Eighteenth Amendment does this. It discusses how Prohibition turns people into criminals and makes them lose respect for the law, setting up a bigger discussion about why personal freedoms matter and cautioning against the dangers of letting the majority get its way with such policies.
