Why was president Franklin d Roosevelt's proposal to add additional justices to the supreme court seen by his opponents as a threat?
Although he presented it as a means to lighten the load on the generally elderly justices, it was widely seen as a transparent attempt to "pack" the court with justices who would support his New Deal programs. Prior to his proposal to add justices to the court, the Supreme Court had struck down several of his programs as unconstitutional, which greatly frustrated FDR. His opponents were quick to seize on his misstep to accuse him of trying to steamroll the court and get around the "checks and balances" provided by the independent Supreme Court.

Why can't Donald Trump stop lying?
Trump can't stop lying because he needs:1. The attention of a segment of the American public.2. To assuage his ego.3. To avoid being held accountable.Trump cleverly mixes in truths with lies, much like the majority of politicians with ulterior motives. By gaining the attention of a segment of the American public, it helps him not only rile up his base, but makes him appear trustworthy by spouting conspiracies that the majority of media won't report on excepting alt-right loon sites. It helps him weaken the power of mainstream media to hold him accountable, by constantly attacking their credibility.Further, by attacking the credibility of government, it helps him control the conversation and steamroll weak government officials who play defense on the issues, much like he did to Hillary Clinton during the election.Finally, he lies because to tell the truth would be:To admit to criminal wrongdoing.Counter to his brand of rich excess with no responsibility.Overall, not good for him.Trump has gotten away with so many lies, why stop now? They've only improved his stature and vaulted him into the oval office. A man who benefits from telling a lie and suffers no significant consequence learns to do it again.

What were the consequences of the Battle of Gettysburg?
Prior to Gettysburg, the Confederacy had beaten the North in almost every encounter. These battles, however, almost all took place in Virginia. Robert E. Lee, the Confederate commander, was mindful of this. He saw the depleted farms and ruined lands, and the subsequently starving populace. Even though they were winning the war, the South was desperate. Lee realized that he had to invade the North. He felt that if he could win a major victory above the Mason Dixon line, he could pull some Northern sentiments and cause the Union to act for peace. Any treaty at all would be a victory for the Confederacy, because that would mean that President Lincoln had to recognize them as a country, and allow them to remain so. Another benefit of an invasion of the North would be to take the pressure off of starving Virginia, to allow them to recooperate their farms, and perhaps be ready to support the army and the people again by the time the invasion ended. Lee moved his forces North to a place called Cashtown, west of Gettysburg, and the battle ensued. This information is important because even though Lee had succeeded in beating the Union army in almost every venture, he was in a desperate position. The invasion of the North was, in a way, his hail mary, even though victory was quite possible. Subsequently, should the Union secure a victory and repulse the invasion, defeat would be almost inevitable for the Confederates. The Union had the numerical advantages. They had the food, the factories, the endless troops, and, most importantly, the naval chokehold. Their blockades stopped almost all international trade for the South, slowly starving the secedes states. If the war were prolonged by stopping the invasion and ending the possibility of peace negotiations, the South would almost certainly starve out and have to surrender. In this way, the battle of Gettysburg was the deciding factor in the Civil War. The latter of the two options ended up happening, and the war was prolonged. The South eventually had to surrender, under the fierce pressure of Ulysses S. Grant, who was brought over from the West to steamroll after Robert E. Lee's maneuvering army and pin them down once and for all. If Lee had done one or two things differently at the battle of Gettysburg, you might still need a passport to travel between Maryland and Virginia.
