Supreme Power: Franklin Roosevelt Vs The Supreme Court
![Jese Leos](https://paperback.apooobooks.com/author/art-mitchell.jpg)
In the midst of the Great Depression, President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal programs were challenged by a conservative Supreme Court. Roosevelt responded by proposing a plan to "pack" the Court with new justices who would be more sympathetic to his policies. This plan sparked a fierce battle between the President and the Court, and ultimately led to a major shift in the balance of power between the two branches of government.
"Supreme Power" is a thrilling historical account of this clash, and the battle for the soul of the nation. Drawing on extensive research, author David Kennedy weaves a narrative that is both gripping and informative. He takes readers inside the White House and the Supreme Court, and introduces them to the key players in this epic drama.
Kennedy provides a nuanced and balanced account of the conflict, giving voice to both sides of the debate. He shows how Roosevelt's New Deal programs were essential to lifting the country out of the Depression, but also how the Court's conservative justices were genuinely concerned about the constitutionality of some of these programs. He also explores the political motivations of both Roosevelt and the Court, and shows how the conflict was as much about power as it was about principle.
