In the 1930s, the Supreme Court struck down key provisions of both the National Recovery Administration (NRA) and the Agricultural Adjustment Act (AAA). The NRA was declared unconstitutional in 1935 for overstepping federal authority under the Commerce Clause, while the AAA faced similar scrutiny in 1936 when the Court ruled that its agricultural production controls were unconstitutional. These decisions reflected the Court's resistance to New Deal legislation aimed at regulating the economy.
The Supreme Court declared the National Recovery Administration (NRA) unconstitutional in 1935 due to its delegation of legislative power to the executive branch, which violated the non-delegation doctrine. The Court ruled that the NRA's codes of fair competition were too broad and lacked clear standards. Similarly, the Agricultural Adjustment Administration (AAA) faced challenges leading to its declaration unconstitutional in 1936, primarily because its taxation provisions were deemed to violate the Constitution's requirement for uniformity in taxation. Both cases reflected concerns about overreach in federal authority during the New Deal era.
