Supreme Power: Franklin Roosevelt vs. the Supreme Court

Supreme Power: Franklin Roosevelt vs. the Supreme Court

"A stunning work of history."â‚¬â€¢Doris Kearns Goodwin, author of No Ordinary Time and Team of Rivals
Beginning in 1935, the Supreme Court's conservative majority left much of FDR's agenda in ruins. The pillars of the New Deal fell in short succession. It was not just the New Deal but democracy itself that stood on trial. In February 1937, Roosevelt struck back with an audacious plan to expand the Court to fifteen justicesâ‚¬â€¢and to "pack" the new seats with liberals who shared his belief in a "living" Constitution. 16 pages black-and-white photographs
