Rory Mccormick · Answer 1

President Franklin Roosevelt wanted to reorganize the Supreme Court because he felt unsatisfied over its decisions about the New Deal programs being unconstitutional.

For this reason, he managed to find methods to change the way the Supreme Court functioned and issued a proposal in February 1937 to provide retirement at full pay for all members of the court over 70.

Joshua Hancock · Answer 2

The Supreme Court had already struck down several important New Deal

policies.

Roosevelt believed that future programs could be ruled unconstitutional.

Roosevelt wanted to add judges to the court who would support his policies.
