Question

which of the following would have most likely occurred if franklin roosevelts judicial reform bill had become law?
it would have concentrated power in the executive branch of the government.
it would have restored balance among the three branches of government.
it would have set a precedent for government intervention in the economy.
it would have signaled an end to all the programs of roosevelt’s new deal.

Explanation:

Roosevelt's judicial reform bill (the "court-packing plan") proposed adding up to 6 new Supreme Court justices, which would have let him appoint justices sympathetic to his policies. This would have shifted significant power to the executive branch, as the judiciary would be aligned with the president's agenda, upsetting the system of checks and balances. The other options are incorrect: the bill would have unbalanced the branches, not restored balance; it targeted the judiciary, not economic intervention precedent; and it was meant to protect the New Deal, not end it.

Answer:

A. It would have concentrated power in the executive branch of the government.
