The plan, called by many "court-packing", proposed to appoint one new justice for every sitting justice aged 70 years or older, resulting in a total of 50 new judges with six of them on the Supreme Court. This way, Roosevelt would have had more justices in favor of his plans and stop the Court from rejecting his New Deal programs.
