Answer:

<u>to get more New Deal supporters on the Court </u>

Explanation:

At the beginning of Franklin Roosevelt's term, he wasn't getting much support toward his New Deal programs fro the Supreme Court, so he determined to propose a legislative plan that would have allowed him to add more justices to the Supreme Court that supported his ideas, this plan was officially called the Judicial Reform Bill, but it was commonly called the "court-packing" plan.

Under this plan, Roosevelt proposed to appoint one new justice for every sitting justice aged 70 years or older, resulting in a total of 50 new judges with six of them on the Supreme Court. This way, Roosevelt would have got <u>more New Deal supporters on the Court </u>and stop the Court from rejecting his programs.

Assessment: Introductory Paragraph &amp; Thesis
bixtya [17]
I think that This is correct, the very reason for English settlers coming to U.S is haphazard. They came here in search for religious freedom from the British crown, and forced there way onto America. From then on they have used the land, gotten sick and died, searched for treasure destroyed the land and fought with Indians. The situations that brought them to settle in America and their dissensions afterwords set the building blocks for an extremely haphazard way of life. They killed many Indians made treaties and broke them, mined the earth for oil and made war with Brittan 2 times. Also their greed for money and industrialization was also out of control. All in all the settlements of early America, was forced due to oppression and was never gilded into a thoughtful manner. 

All this needs is specific detail which i can't do since i don't have your book or curriculum.
