After winning a second term a President, Franklin D. Roosevelt proposed a bill that would expand the membership of the Supreme Court. The law would allow one additional Justice to the Court for each Justice over the age of 70, with a maximum of six additional justices.

Many people criticized President Roosevelt's plan to "pack" the Supreme Court because

A) such a law would have given the President too much governmental power
B) a proposal such as this had never been made by a President and was bound to fail
C) there were few people under the age of 70 with enough legal experience to sit on the Court
D) the New Deal did not need such federal Judicial support in order to be successful
