Explanation:

FDR decided to expand the Supreme Court in 1937 in order to make it more efficient. Of course, critics came up saying that in this way the Supreme Court wouldn’t be against his New Deal, as it was before because them had unvalidated various important pieces of New Deal legislation justifying that the laws gave an unconstitutional amount of authority to the federal government.

This was called by the opposites the “court-packing” plan.
