No one knows but FDR
During his presidency FDR saw the Great Depression, the changing of the Supreme Court, the creation of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), World War II and the creation of the atomic bomb.
Reaction in both Congress and the nation at large was hostile. FDR's plan was considered to be tampering with the Constitution and the separation of powers. FDR backed down and the Supreme Court actually approved several key New Deal enactment's. Since many on the Court were old, FDR ended up appointing eight new Justices before he died.
the supreme court began ruling in favor of new deal programs.
FDR was unsuccessful in his efforts to "pack" the Supreme Court. He wanted the power to name another justice to the Court for every justice that was 70 years old or turned 70 in the future. Although Congress has the power to change the number of justices on the Court, it did not go along with FDR on this plan.
FDR was accused of becoming a dictator after trying to change the Supreme Court for his advantage.
the number of justices should be increased
FDR proposed a plan to add a new justice for a Supreme Court Justice over 70 years of age and increase the size of the Court up to 15. This would give the President the power to "pack the court" with justices who would support the New Deal. Reaction in both Congress and the nation at large was hostile.
