United States v. Butler
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
(Redirected from United States v. Butler et al.)
In the case United States v. Butler, 297 U.S. 1 (1936), the Supreme Court of the United States ruled unconstitutional the processing taxes instituted under the 1933 Agricultural Adjustment Act. Justice Roberts argued that the tax was "but a means to an unconstitutional end" that violated the Tenth Amendment.
This was part of a series of cases decided by the conservative Supreme Court of the time period which declared unconstitutional parts of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal legislation.
