Which best describes the legislative setbacks Franklin Roosevelt encountered during his first two terms?

Answer
A
Supreme Court rejection of the Social Security Act and the Tennessee Valley Authority
B
Congressional rejection of National Recovery Administration and other New Deal programs
C
Supreme Court rejection of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration and the Wagner Act
D
Supreme Court rejection of several New Deal programs and congressional rejection of the judicial reform bill

Explanation

The Supreme Court struck down several major New Deal measures, including the National Industrial Recovery Act and the original Agricultural Adjustment Act. Roosevelt also faced a congressional defeat when lawmakers rejected his 1937 judicial reform bill, often called the court-packing plan. Thus, the best description is Supreme Court rejection of several New Deal programs and congressional rejection of the judicial reform bill.
