Untitled[edit]

George Struble's advocacy of prohibition was part of a powerful cultural upsurge known to history as the temperance movement. It culminated in the 18th Amendment to the Constitution. Herbert Hoover later described it as a noble experiment that failed.

The 18th Amendment to the Constitution (1919-1933) was unique in a number of ways. From the standpoint of U.S. Constitutional history it stands out as follows: (1) It was the first amendment to be specifically abrogated by a subsequent amendment. (2) The 21st Amendment of 1933, which repealed the 18th Amendment, was the first and to date the only amendment to be ratified by state ratifying conventions, as per Article V of the Constitution.
