Question 18 • S1S-OC: US History A (E1202 - AG)

Which would most likely have 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 resulted in a second presidential term for Roosevelt.

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 most likely would have concentrated power in the executive branch. It would not have restored balance among the branches; critics argued it threatened the judiciary’s independence.
