court-packing plan  

Définition

  • Efforts by President Franklin D. Roosevelt (1933–1945) to expand the size of the Court in order to appoint justices sympathetic to his New Deal economic legislation. Although Roosevelt's plan ultimately failed, it played a part in convincing the justices to abandon their opposition to the New Deal.
