Question

Victoria Kellett · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Franklin D. Roosevelt's court-packing plan, which aimed to add more justices to the Supreme Court, was not successful in Congress and lacked tremendous public support. However, despite the failure of the court-packing scheme, Roosevelt later saw a shift in the Court's decisions that aligned more closely with his New Deal policies, a change often referred to as the judicial Roosevelt revolution. This shift occurred as the Court began to uphold New Deal legislation, marking a significant change in judicial approach to economic regulation and federal power.
