Minimum wage in 1938 was 25 cents an hour, which is about $4 per hour in today’s money.

It was set by Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1938 as part of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which also established overtime pay, recordkeeping, and youth employment standards.

Since minimum wage was first introduced in the United States, it has been raised 22 times by 12 presidents. (As of this answer, May 16, 2019)

Answer:Federal courts can declare laws passed by Congress unconstitutional. If the Supreme Court rules that a law is unconstitutional, Congress can revise the law, write a new one, or propose amendments (changes) to the U.S. Constitution. Changes must be ratified by three quarters of the states.
