Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Eighteenth Amendment and Prohibition Part I
Q: If the 21st Amendment repealed the 18th Amendment and ended prohibition almost 100 years ago, then why are we discussing these topics today?
Examining the events leading up to the 18th Amendment's ratification can help us understand how the Supreme Court has interpreted Congress's power to regulate commerce.
The Eighteenth Amendment and Prohibition Part II
Q: I'm wondering why it was necessary to amend the Constitution to ban the liquor trade in the first place?
There were significant questions about Congress's authority to regulate alcohol within states comprehensively, which led to the framing of the 18th Amendment to explicitly allow for prohibition.
The Nineteenth Amendment and Women’s Citizenship
Q: What were the major arguments that members of Congress made in favor of and against the amendment?
Proponents argued that women should have the right to vote because they contributed to the labor force during World War I, while opponents raised concerns about states' rights and traditional family roles.
The Nineteenth Amendment and Women’s Citizenship
Q: So Brandon, before the 19th Amendment's ratification in 1920, did the federal Constitution prohibit women from voting?
No, it didn't. The original Constitution deferred to state determinations of voter qualifications, allowing states to decide who could vote.
