The New Deal

Question 9 • RMA FL-2100310-United States History Semester 1

Which of the following would have most likely occurred if Franklin Roosevelt’s judicial reform bill had become law?

Answer
A
It would have concentrated power in the executive branch of the government.
B
It would have restored balance among the three branches of government.
C
It would have set a precedent for government intervention in the economy.
D
It would have signaled an end to all the programs of Roosevelt’s New Deal.

Explanation

Roosevelt’s judicial reform bill, often called the court-packing plan, would have allowed him to appoint additional Supreme Court justices. Since the president would gain influence over the Court, the plan would have concentrated power in the executive branch. It was not intended to end New Deal programs; Roosevelt proposed it partly because the Court had struck down some of them.
