The 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified in 1951 primarily to limit the presidency to two terms. It was a response to Franklin D. Roosevelt's unprecedented four-term presidency, which raised concerns about the concentration of power in the executive branch. The amendment was intended to ensure a rotation in leadership and to prevent any future president from serving for an extended period, thereby promoting democratic governance.
