The correct answer is "Congressional conservatives and the Supreme Court both worked to limit the scope of New Deal Programs."

This is evident based on the passage. Chief Justice Roberts is indirectly referring to one of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal policies. This policy is known as the Agricultural Adjustment Act. This act, created by the federal government, paid farmers to not plant their crops. This was due to two different factors: the surplus of goods in America and the dropping prices of food.

Ultimately, the Supreme Court rules in US vs. Butler that this law is unconstitutional, as this is a right reserved to the states since it is not explicitly given to the federal government within the US Constitution.
