People opposed the 18th Amendment, which established Prohibition in the United States, for several reasons. Many believed it infringed on personal freedoms and individual rights, as it prohibited the consumption of alcohol.

Furthermore, the amendment disproportionately impacted certain communities and industries, leading to economic concerns and loss of jobs.
