Answer 1

The 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution made it illegal to manufacture, sell, or transport alcohol, which had a significant impact on American society. This period, known as Prohibition, led to a rise in illegal speakeasies, organized crime, and bootlegging as people sought to circumvent the law. The societal effects included increased law enforcement challenges, changes in social habits, and ultimately a backlash against the restrictions that contributed to the amendment's repeal with the 21st Amendment in 1933. Therefore, the correct summary of the impact is:

**D. made it illegal to manufacture, sell, or transport alcohol.**
