prohibition and the Fourth Amendment  

Definición

  • Few eras in U.S. history have generated more Fourth Amendment cases than Prohibition, the national ban on the manufacture, sale, and transport of alcohol between 1920 and 1933. In one of the most comprehensive studies of this issue, Professor Kenneth M. Murchison has argued that Supreme Court decisions tended to parallel three stages of political debate surrounding the issue, namely, “strong initial support; gradual growth of doubts, and eventual repudiation” (1982, 476).
