It would have concentrated power in the executive branch of the government.
Why: FDR’s 1937 “court‑packing” bill would have allowed him to appoint additional Supreme Court justices (up to six), likely creating a Court friendly to his policies. Critics said this threatened judicial independence and the separation of powers. The other choices are incorrect because the plan would not restore balance, wasn’t about economic intervention, and wasn’t intended to end the New Deal (it aimed to protect it).
