attempted to regulate agricultural production through farm subsidies; ruled unconstitutional in 1936; disbanded after World War II.

The Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1933

Explanation:

The Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1933 was New Deal federal legislation proposed by president Roosevelt with the goal of solving the agricultural crisis.

The idea was to increase agricultura prices. The government would buy excess produce and livestock, and would pay farmers subsidies.

The act was ruled unconstitutional in 1936 by the U. S. Supreme Court because it considered that agricultural policy was not a federal matter, and should be left to the states.
