Roman Mason · Answer 1

The right answer is D.

Gunner Moody · Answer 2

The correct answer should be D. The Supreme Court more willingly accepted a larger role for the federal government. They started dealing with legislature more and with social policies. This was because he wanted to put in more judges to tip the balance of judges into his favor, which was supposed to be good for his new deal program. It didn't split and there were less than 11 people.
