Roosevelt and the Supreme Court

• 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 Separation of Powers principle.

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