During the decade of the 1920s, the question of whether or not the U.S Government was acting with the best interest of its citizens was brought to light. America returned to isolationism in hopes of fixing domestic problems but, the U.S. focused on the wrong problems (the smaller issues). One action that was put into place by the American government was the Volstead Act, this act halted the government-initiated production of liquor throughout the whole country. Other government operations during this time consisted of the laissez-faire government.
A defining moment of the 1920s came when the Volstead Act was passed, more commonly known as the Prohibition. The citizens began to protest, starting “bootlegging” and illegally distributing alcohol.
