Question 5 • S1S-OC: US History A (E1202 - AG)

Which New Deal program was struck down because it regulated commerce improperly?

Answer
A
the Social Security Act
B
the Tennessee Valley Authority
C
the National Recovery Administration
D
the Agricultural Adjustment Administration

Explanation

The Supreme Court struck down the National Recovery Administration (NRA) in 1935 in Schechter Poultry Corp. v. United States. The Court ruled that Congress had delegated too much lawmaking authority and that the NRA’s rules went beyond federal power to regulate interstate commerce. The Agricultural Adjustment Administration was also challenged in court, but it was struck down on different constitutional grounds.
