The critics believed Roosevelt’s was trying to shift the balance of power defined in the US Constitution. This implies the correct answer is D

In 1937, the US president Roosevelt communicates his intention to add more judges to the Supreme Court. The bill as proposed by Roosevelt was meant to increase the membership of the Supreme Court to almost 15 judges.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

The motive behind the proposed expansion was meant to appoint more judges who will support the new deal legislation. Therefore, the bill was widely criticized and it was never considered by congress.  

The critics believed Roosevelt was trying to shift the balance of power as enshrined in the US constitution. They believed the president should not mediate in the affairs of the Supreme Court.

Most of the critics were also of the opinion that the Supreme Court must evaluate laws proposed by the president and congress and can determine which laws are suitable or unsuitable to the constitution of the United States.

President Roosevelt's attempts to increase the justices of the US Supreme court were not successful because he didn’t brief the congressional leaders before the announcement of the bill. As a result, the bill was however not endorsed by the house judiciary committee chairman at the time.

Answer: C. Battle of Marathon

Explanation:

The Battle of Marathon was fought in 490BC between Athens and Persia in what became known as the first invasion of the Greek mainland by the Persians and was led by Darius The Great.

Before the battle, the Athenians sent a message to request help from Sparta but the Spartans declined involvement due to their observance of a religious festival.

Regardless, Athens and her Allies inflicted a crushing defeat on the Persians that kept them out of Greece for over a decade before Xerxes the Great invaded their shores once more.

This therefore must be the battle that the text speaks of.
