Correct answer:  B) on the basis of the age of sitting judges.

Context/explanation:

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) was eager to implement his New Deal programs as an antidote to the Great Depression.  However, the US Supreme Court had already ruled that some provisions of the New Deal were unconstitutional, because they took too much power into the hands of the federal government, especially the executive branch of the federal government.  So, riding the momentum of his landslide reelection victory in 1936, in February of 1937, FDR proposed a plan to expand the Supreme Court to as many as 15 judges.  The plan offered to provide full pay to justices over age 70 who would retire.  If the older justices didn't retire, assistant justices (with full voting rights) would be appointed to sit with those existing justices.  This was a way FDR hoped to give the court a liberal majority that would side with his programs.

As it turned out, before FDR's proposal came up for a vote in Congress, two of the sitting justices came over to his side of the argument, and the Supreme Court narrowly approved as constitutional both the Social Security Act and the National Labor Relations Act.  So his plan (which failed in the US Senate) became unnecessary to his purposes.  

Roosevelt's "court-packing" scheme was unpopular. It was seen as an attempt to take away the independence of the judicial branch of government.

Why were people so angry, to the point of violence, about the integration of our schools?
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

They did not want to share equal rights with African Americans.

Explanation:

School integration ended race-based segregation within American public and private schools. After the Civil War, the Southern States tried to limit the rights of African American by implementing the laws of Jim Crow. The Southern found a way to keep the African Americans separate by introducing the segregation laws. These laws separated African Americans from the white by building different schools, public places, parks, etc.

When the government decided to look upon the issue of education, Brown v. Board of Education took decision declared the same school to everyone. Most southerners had no plan of desegregating their schools and were angry and in point of violence as they did not want to maintain a separate school for the African American.

timurjin [86]

Answer:

I believe it's D.

Explanation:

The US was kept in the dark about the extent of the atrocities committed during the Holocaust. Technically, the US did place an embargo on German good, but that was because of the war they were fighting against the Germans at the time, not really because of the Holocaust itself. After the war and more vivid details about the Holocaust were revealed, the US was heavily scrutinized for not getting more involved.
