Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Transformation of the Supreme Court

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed 10 justices to the U.S. Supreme Court -- more than any president except Washington -- and during Roosevelt's presidency the Supreme Court gained more visibility, underwent greater change, and made more landmark decisions than it had in its previous 150 years of existence. This collection examines FDR's influence on the Court and the Court's growing influence on American life during his presidency.
