Unalienable Rights and Prohibition Wrongs explores the complex relationship between personal freedom and government regulation in the context of the American Prohibition era. Charles Michael Higgins argues that the right to choose one's food and drink is an unalienable right, deeply rooted in American values.
This book examines the historical and constitutional implications of the Eighteenth Amendment, which outlawed the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcohol. Higgins critiques the temperance movement and its impact on individual liberties, contending that Prohibition represented an overreach of government power and a violation of fundamental rights. A timely reflection on the balance between public safety and personal autonomy, Unalienable Rights and Prohibition Wrongs offers valuable insights into a pivotal period in American history and its enduring lessons for today.
