British raj, period of direct British rule over the Indian subcontinent from 1858 until the independence of India and Pakistan in 1947. The raj succeeded management of the subcontinent by the British East India Company, after general distrust and dissatisfaction with company leadership resulted in a widespread mutiny of sepoy troops in 1857, causing the British to reconsider the structure of governance in India. The British government took possession of the company’s assets and imposed direct rule. The raj was intended to increase Indian participation in governance, but the powerlessness of Indians to determine their own future without the consent of the British led to an increasingly adamant national independence movement.

c. The Constitution is in the garbage because the cartoonist believes it is being disregarded.
d. The main idea is that Roosevelt is going against the Constitution by trying to influence the Supreme Court.

<h3>Roosevelt and the Supreme Court</h3>

The Supreme Court was striking down some of Roosevelt's New Deal policies.
Roosevelt wanted to increase the Justices who were sympathetic to him and so wanted to pass a bill to increase the number of Supreme Court Justices.

People believed that if Roosevelt had his way, he would have stuffed the Supreme Court with people loyal to himself which would be a violation of the Constitution as it would reduce the independence of the Judiciary and go against the <em>Separation of Powers principle. </em>

In conclusion, people were against Roosevelt trying to influence the Supreme Court.
