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.
make a bill that placed more justices on the Supreme Court
President Franklin D. Roosevelt
In 1904 President Roosevelt got the supreme court to rule that Northern securities company was a monopoly.
President Roosevelt was accused of "court-packing."
Yes, President Franklin D. Roosevelt did propose expanding the number of justices on the Supreme Court in an effort to reduce the influence of conservative justices who had struck down several New Deal programs. This proposal, known as the "court-packing" plan, was ultimately unsuccessful.

To get more New Deal supporters on the Court.
To appoint new justices to the supreme court >.<
No. President Roosevelt wrote a plan that would allow him to appoint one new justice for each current justice over the age of 70.5 years old, up to a maximum of six additional justices, which would expand the size of the Supreme Court from nine to fifteen. Congress understood the President's idea was unconstitutional, so they refused to pass the legislation. Eventually, the old members of the Supreme Court began retiring and passing away, so Roosevelt was able to appoint eight replacements without adding to the size of the Court.
