The Volstead Act is stupid because taking away something like alcohol will not solve every problem in the world. How can someone believe that alcohol alone leads to crime, wife and child abuse. Yes it may help but these things can happen even if your not intoxicated. Taking something away from someone causes trouble like rebellion, strikes, and people have the right to stand up and explain what they believe. If they believe that you cant take away alcohol then they can believe it. Taking away something from someone just makes them angry. The government cant take all the alcohol away but they can limit, and enforce places not to sell it or have possession of it. People will ignore the law and find ways to get around it like making it themselves, selling, purchasing it where it is legal. This also involved breaking the law and caused crime.
The Scopes Trial is also stupid but I believe that this law is right because parents did not want their children who are religious that man came from apes. This is talking down to the Bible in the way man was created. The problem is that evolution is a theory and can be interpreted in many ways and not everything is supposed to be taken literally.
