Roosevelt to add more justices to the U.S. Supreme Court in order to obtain favorable rulings regarding New Deal legislation that the Court had ruled unconstitutional. The bill came to be known as Roosevelt's "court-packing plan”.

<u>Explanation: </u>

The main aim of the New Deal is to bring down the cut-throat competition in the industries and the role government to take equal responsibility in advocating for practicing fair practices and to control prices.

An agency has be formed that is called "The National Recovery Administration (NRA)" was a prime New Deal agency formed by U.S. President Franklin D Roosevelt in 1933.

Roosevelt's purpose was clear to form the ideological balance of the Court so that it would stop striking down his New Deal legislation and this was called Court-Packing Plan. As a result, the plan was widely and vehemently criticized.

"The National Industrial Recovery Act" of 1933 was declared to be unconstitutional in May 1935 because the court tribunal stated that the NIRA extended the lawmaking authorities to the NRA in violating the allocation of the constitution of such powers to Congress.

How might the US government use a law like the Sedition Act today to suppress speech it disagrees with?
Mekhanik [1.2K]
If  the US prioritized the profession of loyalty to the current government more highly than it prizes First Amendment rights of free speech, something like the Sedition Act might be presented to the American people as an act of patriotism.

The Sedition Act of 1918 was passed to squelch voices in the US that was perceived as interfering in any way with the nation's war effort as a participant in World War I.  Legal scholars now see that act as contradicting the First Amendment.  Indeed, the Sedition Act was repealed in 1921, only a few years after its passage.

But there have been hints in recent years, in regard to what is called "the war on terror," that Americans will tolerate restriction of some civil liberties if they think their security is at stake.  The USA PATRIOT Act, passed in 2001 (after the 9-11 attacks), included measures that allowed the government much leeway in regard to surveillance of electronic communications.  The American Civil Liberties Union continues to challenge these sorts of aspects of the PATRIOT Act.
