Question

When the Supreme Court declared the NIRA to be unconstitutional in its 1935 Schechter Poultry Corp. v. U.S. decision, it also destroyed:

a. the Railway Act.
b. the old NLRB.
c. the National Labor Relations Act.
d. the NLRB.

Answer 1

The Supreme Court's 1935 decision in Schechter Poultry Corp. v. U.S. declared the National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA) unconstitutional. However, it did not destroy the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) or the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). The NLRA, also known as the Wagner Act, was signed into law to protect workers' right to unionize and bargain collectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

In its 1935 Schechter Poultry Corp. v. U.S. decision, the Supreme Court declared the National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA) unconstitutional. However, the court's decision did not destroy the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) or the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). The NLRA, also known as the Wagner Act, was actually signed into law by President Roosevelt to protect workers' right to unionize and bargain collectively. It created the NLRB to enforce these rights and to serve as a federal vehicle for labor grievances.
