What about Prohibition, which became an Amendment to the Constitution. It was directly responsible for the huge amount of funding that made its way into the hands of organized crime in the USA before it was repealed.
How about some of the Blue Laws in New England. Some may still on the books, but ignored, like "Every adult male must bring their musket to church on Sunday mornings." Retail business on Sundays is still prohibited in some locations.
Or how about the State of Tennessee which had problems educating engineers after they passed a law to define the mathematical constant PI as exactly 22/7?
