Explanation

In 1937, Roosevelt proposed adding justices to the Supreme Court, a plan often called the court-packing plan. Critics saw it as an attempt to gain influence over the Court, which had struck down some New Deal laws, and this strengthened conservative opposition. He proposed increasing the number of justices; he did not succeed in doing so.
