Explanation:

To determine why Roosevelt wanted to reorganize the Supreme Court, we analyze each option:

1. The Supreme Court had struck down New Deal policies, so Roosevelt wanted to address this by reorganizing to protect his programs. This is valid.
2. Roosevelt was concerned that future New Deal programs might be ruled unconstitutional by the existing court, so reorganizing (adding judges favorable to his policies) was a way to prevent that. This is valid.
3. Adding judges who supported his policies would help ensure his New Deal programs (and future policies) were upheld, so this is a reason for reorganization. This is valid.

Answer:

• 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.
