clear all

Explanation:

Roosevelt's court - packing plan aimed to add justices to the Supreme Court. The main argument against it was that it gave the executive branch (Roosevelt's branch) too much power, as the executive would influence the judiciary's composition. Speaker 4 says the plan gives the executive branch too much power, which matches this main argument. Speaker 1's concern about the Senate's treaty - ratifying power is not the main argument. Speaker 2's concern about popular sovereignty is not the key issue here. Speaker 3's concern about states' power is irrelevant to the court - packing plan's main controversy.

Answer:

Speaker 4
