Did President Roosevelt propose legislation in 1937 that would increase support of his ideas on the US Supreme Court?
AnswerYes. In 1937, President Franklin D. Roosevelt drafted a bill for Congress titled the "Judiciary Reorganization Bill of 1937," which became popularly known as the "Court-packing Plan," for Roosevelt's attempt to add as many as six new Justices to the Supreme Court. Roosevelt hoped to build more support for New Deal programs.Although the bill endeavored a broad overhaul and modernization of the federal court system, its most important provision was the proposal that one new Justice be appointed for every sitting Justice over the age of 70.5, up to a maximum of six members (which could potentially have brought the total count to 15).The motivation behind this change was the President's frustration with the conservative majority opposition to his New Deal legislation. Roosevelt believed the incumbent justices were too old and set in their ways to appreciate the bold scope of the President's plans to revive the economy. He hoped that, by stacking the Court with more liberal Justices, those who shared his ideology, he would create an atmosphere more favorable toward his policies.Roosevelt's proposed legislation failed when the Senate voted 70-20 to return the bill to the Judiciary Committee with explicit instructions to strip it of its court-packing provisions.For more information, see Related Questions, below.

What does amending legislation mean?
It means to fix a legislation that was passed with the Constitution. I.E. The Bill of Rights has ten amendments to the legislation. As proposed legislation ("a bill") proceeds through committee, and picks up additional sponsors, often, support is only forthcoming if additions, deletions or changes are made to the proposed statutory language, in order to obtain the support of a particular legislator or legislators. The results of the deliberations that occur in proceedings in committee can have the effect of amending legislation before it is put to a vote by the upper house (the U.S. Senate) and the lower house (the U.S. House of Representatives). Also, reports of planned, proposed, or enacted changes to existing law could be called "amending legislation" although it is not legislation, but simply a communicative writing reporting proposed or effected changes to legislation. These typically contain the original legislated statutory passages in strikethrough text for comparative and analytical purposes.
Before Franklin D. Roosevelt changed the size of the court how many judges were there on the Supreme Court?
President Roosevelt didn't change the size of the US Supreme Court; he drafted legislation in 1937 that proposed an increase of one new justice for each sitting justice over the age of 70.5, up to a maximum of six new justices, for a total Court size of 15. Congress recognized the president was attempting to pack the Court with with justices who would support his New Deal programs, and stripped this provision from legislation. The size of the US Supreme Court was set at nine in the Judiciary Act of 1869, and has remained unchanged since that time.

Roosevelts scheme for gaining Supreme Court approval of New Deal legislation?
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. 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.
