Superficially ,today’s problems with the abuse of illegal drugs such as heroin and cocaine resemble the problems of alchol abuse durig the 1920’s when many people kept drinking in spite of Prohibition.

a.during prohibition,drinking of alchol was commonly accepted amomg most Americans

d.in a democracy,laws must be based on the fundamental beliefs and values of the majority of citizens
e.American popuar opinion has always been molded primarily by the values of the middle class.
Underlying assumption CR
