Résumé
Beginning in 1935, a series of devastating decisions by a conservative majority Supreme Court left much of FDR's agenda in ruins. The pillars of the New Deal fell in short succession and democracy itself stood on trial. In February 1937,… Roosevelt struck back with an audacious plan to expand the Court to fifteen justices and to "pack" the new seats with people who shared his belief in a "living" Constitution. Adult
