Select one:

B. Granted Congress greater latitude between the states
C. Granted Congress power to set interest rates, but not prices
D. Placed this power in the Executive branch

Answer 1

TThe answer is A because Congress was not allowed to regulate any trading or commerce

Answer 2

The answer is: B. Granted Congress greater latitude between the states.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1937 the Supreme Court rejected the doctrine of laissez-faire, deciding a historical case, that of the National Labor Relations Council against the Jones and Laughlin Steel Company.

The Court, returning to the theories proposed by John Marshall, dictated that Congress could pass laws that regulate actions that directly concern interstate commerce. Other decisions expanded the powers of Congress following the trade clause.

The answer is: B. Granted Congress greater latitude between the states.
