Answer:

increase the size of the Supreme Court so that he could appoint justices who would supply rulings favorable to him

Explanation:

The US Supreme Court first provoked public protests when, in May 1935, during an unprecedented economic crisis, the NIRA (National Industrial Recovery Act), which entered into force on June 16, 1933, was declared unconstitutional. This act became part of the New Deal of Roosevelt to save the country. Like other laws initiated by Roosevelt and adopted during the first “100 days,” the NIRA was extraordinary, well thought out and had one goal - to prevent huge social shocks that could cause an economic crisis at any moment. It was no accident that he was enthusiastically perceived by both businessmen and ordinary workers and employees of America.

However, the laws of the “New Deal” were literally passed in the 'fire order,' with the procedure for adoption curtailed, so the judges of the Armed Forces had arguments to declare them incompatible with the US Constitution. In January 1936, the Supreme Court’s decision abolished the AAA (Agricultural Adjustment Act) system, which was designed to save and restore the country's agriculture - imposing a tax on firms processing agricultural products, which, according to the judges of the Supreme Court, was contrary to the constitution.

In total, from January 1935 to May 1936, the US Supreme Court declared 11 laws that were passed by Congress in 1933-1934 as unconstitutional. The most important changes introduced by the New Deal in the life of American society were threatened, which caused widespread discontent among the population. The actions of the Supreme Court were opposed by the organized labor movement of America. The "revolutionary situation" began to ripen in the country. The presidential election in 1936 was a kind of referendum in favor of the “New Deal” by Roosevelt, turning the Supreme Court into an object of sharp criticism from the indignant public. Under these conditions, on February 5, 1937, Roosevelt sent a message to Congress on the plan of reform of the Supreme Court, which provided for a significant expansion of its composition. Although Congress did not accept the draft, it became apparent that the Supreme Court could no longer remain in its original position. Soon, the judges of the Supreme Court recognized the National Act on Labor Relations as constitutional. In May 1937, the Constitutional Law on Social Insurance was also successfully tested for constitutionality, and in 1939, also the Law on the Regulation of Agriculture of 1938. In essence, under pressure from the public, a legal 'amnesty' for the New Deal's socio-economic reforms took place.

What theory was the basis on which the american policy of containment was established?
irina [24]
The theory of George F. Kennan in his "long telegram" provided the basis for containment policy.

George F. Kennan was an American diplomat in Moscow after World War II.  In 1946, he sent what became known as "the long telegram" of his advice about what the USA needed to do about the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).  It really was a LONG telegram at 8,000 words.  (Think of how many Twitter messages that would be today!)
In those 1940s, after World War II, everyone feared an ultimate confrontation between the USA and the USSR -- that the Cold War would someday explode into a massive heated conflict between the superpowers.  Kennan, in Moscow, had much foresight to see the internal problems the USSR had.  He advised not pushing the conflict too much, but instead just try to "contain" the Soviet Union and wait for their system to collapse under the weight of its own problems.  Kennan was right.  It took almost 50 years, but eventually the communist system in the USSR fell apart.  [The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics came to an end in 1991.]
