The National recovery administration (NRA) was declared by the Supreme Court in 1935?
The National Recovery Administration (NRA) was designed to oversee Roosevelt's "codes of fair competition," a price- and wage-setting program intended to ensure deflation didn't cause collapse of the national economy. The NRA was established under Section 3 of the National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933, as an extension of the Interstate Commerce Clause. Much of the industry it regulated conducted business entirely intrastate, however, which the Supreme Court held was constitutionally under the States' purview.The Court decided that the NRA and its regulations were unconstitutional in A. L. A. Schechter Poultry Corp. v. US, (1935), a decision that closed the agency.ExplanationSchechter Poultry Corp. v. US, 295 US 495 (1935)In Schechter, the US Supreme Court found certain government-imposed regulations of the poultry industry, such as price- and wage-fixing, unconstitutional. The "codes of fair competition" would have allowed the President to dictate pricing and and other competitive aspects of the agribusiness under Section 3 of the National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933, as an extension of the Interstate Commerce Clause.These laws would apply to certain food producers regardless of size and regardless of whether their business was entirely intrastate, as was the case with A. L. A. Schechter Poultry Corp. The Court's decision limited the government's power to act under the Interstate Commerce Clause, which it held was improperly applied to intrastate commerce. The Supreme Court ruled that the farm regulation was a state's rights issue, and invalidated a portion of the National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933, closing the National Recovery Administration (NRA).Many of the NRA policies, such as setting minimum wage and restricting work hours, were successfully reenacted under the National Labor Relations Act (aka Wagner Act) passed in July 1935.
Why did FDR want to add more justices to the Supreme Court?
President Roosevelt wanted to prevent the Supreme Court from overturning more New Deal legislation.In 1933, the Supreme Court began to declare some of the New Deal measures favored by FDR as unconstitutional. He considered the Court a threat to his economic program, which he believed would pull the US out of the Great Depression by increasing employment and stabilizing prices.He proposed a scheme to save his reforms by packing the Court with additional justices who would support him. A constitutional amendment would take too long so FDR had his Attorney-General draw up a plan where the President would appoint a new justice for every sitting justice who was over the age of 70.5, up to 6 more justices. Congress refused to pass this bill, but the Supreme Court began to take on a new appearance. Justices began to retire and by the time FDR died, 8 of the 9 justices were his appointment.AnswerHe was hoping to appoint justices that would uphold the Constitutionality of some of his more controversial decisions and support his New Deal legislation.However, the citizens of the United States have a very special regard for the sanctity of the Supreme Court, and the scheme failed. Even members of FDR's own party did not back him on this issue; he was seen as dictatorial. In truth, while the Supreme Court could legally be expanded, it could not practically be done without the consent of Congress.For more information, see Related Questions, below.
