Question refers to the excerpt below.
"Wholly apart from that question, another principle embedded in our
Constitution prohibits the enforcement of the Agricultural Adjustment Act.
The act invades the reserved rights of the states. It is a statutory plan to
regulate and control agricultural production, a matter beyond the powers
delegated to the federal government. The tax, the appropriation of the funds
raised, and the direction for their disbursement are but parts of the plan. They
are but means to an unconstitutional end.
From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated
powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied
from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. ... None
to regulate agricultural production is given, and therefore legislation by
Congress for that purpose is forbidden."—Justice Roberts, from the majority
opinion in United States v. Butler, 1936
How does the decision in the Butler case relate to the Supreme Court's stance
on New Deal legislation? (7 points)
The Court upheld the rights of the president and Congress to enact
First New Deal legislation beyond the scope of what would normally
be considered constitutional.
The Court denied Congress's right to enact several First and Second
New Deal programs because the programs did not receive
presidential approval.
The Court approved of all First New Deal programs, but became
much more conservative as the Depression deepened.
The Court found some programs to be an overreach of the federal
government, but became more accepting of economic regulation
during the Second New Deal.
