Answer 1

President Franklin D. Roosevelt's response to the Supreme Court's opposition to New Deal legislation included several controversial strategies, primarily aimed at increasing his influence over the Court. The most notable of these was his proposal for "court-packing," which would allow him to add more justices to the Supreme Court, effectively increasing the number of justices that could be sympathetic to his New Deal policies. This proposal faced significant backlash and was ultimately not implemented.

Additionally, he attempted to replace justices by proposing the "Court Reduction Act," which was another strategy to reshape the Court. However, there was no successful amendment limiting judicial power or a significant reduction in Court funding as a direct response to its opposition.

In summary, Roosevelt's most prominent response to the Court's opposition was the attempt to increase its size through court-packing. Therefore, of the options provided, the most accurate summary is that he proposed adding more justices to the Court through court-packing.
