Digital PSAT Reading and Writing Practice Question 25: Answer and Explanation
Question: 25
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed into effect the first minimum wage law in 1933. The Supreme Court overturned this first minimum wage law as unconstitutional, arguing that Congress lacked the legislative __________ for such a far-reaching mandate.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
- A. authority
- B. ideology
- C. consensus
- D. disparity
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
(A) Since the Supreme Court overturned this law, the Court would have argued that Congress lacked the authority to do so-in other words, Congress would not have had the legitimate power to pass this law. While Congress may have had an ideology or consensus, these would not necessarily give Congress the rightful power to pass the law. Disparity means "difference," which is illogical in this context.
