National Prohibition Act or Volstead Act was the enforcement mechanism that was used to execute the 18th Amendment.

The Volstead Act is the enabling legislation for the 18th Constitutional Amendment.

Wilson actually vetoed half of the Volstead act, and the legislature overrode that half of a veto.
