How did Franklin Delano Roosevelt attempt to prevent the sepreme court from undoing the new deal?

FDR proposed a plan to add justices whenever a Supreme Court Justice turned 70 years of age and increase the size of the Court 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 enactments. Since many on the Court were old, FDR ended up appointing eight new Justices before he died.


Why did British parliament pass the sugar act and the stamp act?

What steps did napoleon take to restore order in and create an empire for France?

France, post Revolution, is in a perilous state: Napoleon rises from the chaos in 1796 by defeating the Austrians in Italy. The rise is meteoric & the victories keep coming & enemies within are removed, often by dubious means. Napoleons will to be supreme will accept no second place. It becomes obvious to the powers of central Europe that he is a man with whom you are either an ally or an enemy: Much of what becomes in the early years of the 19th century the French Empire is in fact what we would now know of as Germany. In the years to come as many of Napoleons soldiers will speak German as a first language as there are native Frenchmen. Bavarians, Wurttembergers, Saxons, Nassauers all are within the thrall of Napoleon. It is hard to say whether all this was by design, or simply a buffer for France to keep Austria at bay. But Napoleon knows what he says goes: He is master of Europe. This consolidation is really due to 2 battles, or campaigns which end in battles, both terribly swift & decisive: Austerlitz in 1805 & Jena in 1806. Austria/Russia & then Prussia are crushed violently. Alliances are cemented. And as a result the French Empire in Europe is (Briefly) established. The extreme ends of Europe, Russia & Spain are its undoing, and in the Peninsula Wellington defeats the French Marshals, in time, until the final act in 1815 at Waterloo.
