Roosevelt's Supreme Court packing scheme arose from his frustration with the Court's rulings that struck down key New Deal legislation, which he believed were essential for economic recovery during the Great Depression. Concerned that the conservative majority on the Court would continue to block his reforms, he proposed a plan in 1937 to add more justices, effectively allowing him to reshape the Court's ideological balance. This controversial initiative faced significant backlash from both political opponents and allies, ultimately leading to its failure and impacting Roosevelt's political capital.
