Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Enforcement of prohibition laws was weak and ineffective at both federal and state levels due to a lack of resources and corruption among law enforcement officials. This allowed illegal alcohol production and distribution to thrive, undermining the success of Prohibition. While other factors such as economic issues and organized crime also impacted Prohibition's failure, weak enforcement was a critical factor.
