What is the result of FDR's court-packing scheme

1 answer:

3 0

FDR had tried to pass legislation that would let him add up to six more justices. This was because the court had struck down some of his New Deal legislation and so he wanted more power. As shown though with the theory of separation of powers, it would have to go through Congress, who refused to allow the clause that let him "pack the courts" and as a result only reform for lower courts was passed and FDR failed in his main goals, but over his twelve years still appointed most of the justices that were on the court by the time his tenure as president ended.

Eddi Din [679]

Nationalism spread across Europe during Napoleon's time. It was repressed for a generation under the Congress of Vienna and the Concert of Europe until the revolutions of 1845/1845. The term "Nationalism" can be defined as a group of people with the same nationality should unite together under a single flag. Napoleon nationalised France and then moved across the rest of Europe, conquering countries along the way. Eventually, Napolean was defeated and the Congress of Vienna was held by the heads of the European countries. The aim of these meeting was to ensure peace and stability in Europe. The revolutions of 1845/1848 overthrew the repressive European governments of the day.
