The Judicial Procedures Reform Bill enacted in 1937, commonly known as the "court-packing plan", was a legislative measure proposed by Roosevelt's goverment that intended to add more justices to the US Supreme Court.

The ultimate aim of much measure was to the obtain the approval of certain provisions of the New Deal that had been declared unconstitutional by the US Supreme Court. The enactment of the bill would grant the president the power to appoint one justice for every member of the court that was older than 70 years and 6 months. He would be able to appoint a maximum of 6 judges.

The detractors of the bill claimed that it posed a threat to the system of checks and balances that keeps the equilibrium between the three branches of power in the US: legislative, executive and judiciary. <u>The enactment of the bill would give the executive power the chance to interfere in the judiciary by appointing justices</u>, with the ultimate aim of influencing a decision that was convenient for the goverment.

Prior to 1497, how were goods transported from India and China to Europe?
timurjin [86]
Prior to 1497, most goods were transported from India and China to Europe over a land route, since no true sea route had been established. This was obviously far more costly and time-consuming. <span />

What was the role of the Supreme Court in the 2000 presidential election
oee [108]
The Supreme court had to determine whether the utilization of different guidelines in regards to voting was legal. The court ruled that the use of different standards in counties to count votes was a violation of the equal protection clause. This decision allowed the previous vote result to stand which had already been decided by the Florida secretary of state which had already come to the conclusion the George W. Bush was the winner. In short the Supreme court indirectly decided an election result.
