C
Engel v. Vitale
D
Munn v. Illinois
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Schechter was convicted in a federal district court, lost an appeal to the circuit court, and appealed to the Supreme Court, which reviewed the case in 1935. The Supreme Court held that the Live Poultry Code was unconstitutional and that the conviction of Schechter must be overturned.

Detailed explanation-2: -The NIRA was declared unconstitutional in May 1935 when the U.S. Supreme Court issued its unanimous decision in the case Schechter Poultry Corp. v. United States.

Detailed explanation-3: -In May 1935, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled NIRA unconstitutional, in part because the U.S. Constitution does not grant the Federal Government powers to regulate non-interstate commerce.

Detailed explanation-4: -In May, the Court threw out a centerpiece of the New Deal, the National Industrial Recovery Act. In January 1936 a passionately split Court ruled the Agricultural Adjustment Act unconstitutional. In another case from 1936 the Court ruled New York state’s minimum wage law unconstitutional.
