Question

how would fdrs court - packing scheme have changed the supreme court?
it would have expanded the court by allowing the president to appoint new justices when existing justices turned 70.
it would have put more democratic justices on the court.
it would have removed the four horsemen who were opposing the new deal from the court.
it would have forced the court to approve pending new deal legislation.

Explanation:

FDR's court - packing scheme (the Judicial Procedures Reform Bill of 1937) proposed that for every justice on the Supreme Court over the age of 70, the president could appoint an additional justice. This would have expanded the size of the Supreme Court. The option about putting more Democratic justices is not the core of the scheme's change to the Court's structure. The scheme was not about removing the "Four Horsemen" directly, and it didn't force the Court to approve New Deal legislation. The key change was the expansion of the Court through the appointment of new justices when existing ones turned 70.

Answer:

A. It would have expanded the Court by allowing the president to appoint new justices when existing justices turned 70.
