Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Roosevelt's plan to remove judicial obstacles to New Deal reforms in his second term of office was popularly known as court-packing. This plan involved adding additional justices to the Supreme Court, which would allow Roosevelt to appoint judges who were more sympathetic to his policies and thus remove opposition to the New Deal reforms. The plan faced significant opposition from both conservatives and liberals, and ultimately failed to pass in Congress.
