Question

why did congress pass the volstead act to go along with the eighteenth amendment?
the volstead act banned the sale of alcohol in additional states proposed by congress.
the volstead act prohibited people from drinking alcohol as well as selling and shipping it.
the volstead act provided for the enforcement of the eighteenth amendment.
the volstead act governed the sale of alcohol in states omitted from the eighteenth amendment.

Explanation:

The 18th Amendment established prohibition of alcohol in the U.S., but it did not outline how to enforce this ban. The Volstead Act was passed to create the legal framework and mechanisms to enforce the 18th Amendment's prohibition rules. The other options are incorrect: the Act did not target additional/omitted states, and it did not prohibit drinking itself, only the manufacture, sale, and transport of alcohol.

Answer:

C. The Volstead Act provided for the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment.
