Franklin Roosevelt proposed the court-packing plan in 1937 after some of his New Deal programs were struck down by the Supreme Court. He proposed adding up to six justices for each justice over 70 who did not retire, which would have allowed him to appoint more favorable justices and tilt the court in his favor. The plan was ultimately unsuccessful and heavily criticized.
