Question

According to the lesson, what two Roosevelt programs did the U.S. Supreme Court find unconstitutional?

Answer 1

the National Industrial Recovery Act and Agricultural Adjustment Act were declared unconstitutional.

Answer 2

The correct answer to this question would be alternatives C)"Agricultural Adjustment Act" and E)"National Industrial Recovery Act".

The Agricultural Adjustment Act was intended to boost agricultural prices but was declared unconstitutional because of the discriminatory processing tax.

The National Industrial Recovery Act was meant to authorize the president to regulate the industry for fair wages and prices that would stimulate economic recovery. It was ruled unconstitutional due to the assignment of lawmaking powers to the NRA in violation of the Constitution's allocation of such powers to Congress.
