Explanation:
The reason why "A). National Industrial Recovery Act" is the correct answer because this was the act during the new Deal that Congress declared unconstitutional.
The reason why they declared this act unconstitutional because the act would give more power to the NRA, run by the president, and that the constitution says that it is not allowed. This is why there is something called checks and balances in the United States. This act would not give the same powers to the other people of the government, excluding the president because they're the ones that is getting the power. This act was suppose to help out the economy during the great depression, this act was suppose to make people feel better because the act was going to allow the president to make fair wages for everyone, and better pricing too, but this act doesn't give any power to Congress, which for them was unfair. This was declared unconstitutional in May of 1935, since it was giving power to the NRA, or the president, that Congress doesn't get. In other words, the power is not distributed to Congress, which would be unconstitutional since the president, or NRA, is the only one receiving all the power.
