A

D

B. Government officials were not able to enforce the law.

Explanation: Prohibition of alcohol (18th Amendment of the U.S Constitution) was a huge failure just like today's War on Drugs. Prohibition was simply an unforceable policy. Alcohol wasn't the problem. Whether governments make something illegal, there will always be the demand and supply of a substance. That was the case for alcohol. Prohibition created an underground market and made for organized crime such as Al Capone to rise, and that created a heavy toll for taxpayers. They had to fund police, sheriff, and law enforcement agencies that had to dedicate themselves towards arresting bootleggers. It was too hard to do, and it cost taxpayers a lot of money.

The answer can't be A., because the demand for alcohol stayed the same.

The answer can't be C., because even though Prohibition did crash liquor companies, that is not related to why they repealed it.

The answer can't be D., because bootleggers were already an existing problem for law enforcement during Prohibition.
