Answer 1

The correct answer here would be without a doubt the last option.

The Supreme Court kept denying Roosevelt parts of his New Deal program and thus he sought to pack the court with up to six judges so that his New Deal programs could actually become a reality. This failed though and Roosevelt in turn lost much of the political favor he had.
