jan 1, 1936 - FDR packing the court

Description:

FDR was in the process of passing the new deal but needed help from the judicial branch to do so. As a solution, he packed the court with judges who would be in favor of the new deal. This shows that the executive branch had the power to control the judicial branch, which meant that the executive branch had the potential to gain a majority in the checks and balances system
