WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

for our own security and to control our own destiny”
-Walter Lippmann, Author

SECOND NEW DEAL AND THE SECOND HUNDRED DAYS

COURT PACKING
The conservative Supreme Court began striking down New Deal programs by 1935
Seeing this as a problem, FDR proposed a court-reform bill that would allow him to appoint 6 new justices (all of whom would be in favor of the New Deal)
Hotly contested in Congress where it was seen as a violation of the separation of powers

WHAT HAPPENED?

THE END OF THE NEW DEAL
The idea of a Third New Deal was introduced by FDR, but he was not a fan of deficit spending
By 1937 the economy had improved enough that people thought the end of the Depression was near
FDR scaled back New Deal legislation due to pressure from Congress
