Ramiro Baxter · Answer 1

Option C, with no legal protection from unfair employment practices, is the right answer.

Explanation:

The Congress of the United States enacted a labour law known as the National Industrial Recovery Act in the year 1933. The main reason behind enacting this law was to monitor the industry for fair wages and prices to give a boost to the economic recovery. The main aim of this law was to reduce the competition to formulate regulations of "fair practices" and set prices.

However, this law faced failure. The U. S. Supreme Court in the year 1935 declared this law was unconstitutional by asserting that it violated the separation of power following the Constitution of the United States.
