Answer:

getting Congress to pass his legislative proposals; reshaping the Supreme Court.

Step-by-step explanation:

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was an American politician and statesman who was elected as the 32nd President of the United States of America in 1933. He was born on the 30th of January, 1882 in Hyde Park, New York, United States of America.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) didn't only strengthen the office of the president of the United States of America, he went further by trying to dominate the other branches of government such as legislative and judiciary. FDR was relatively successful during his first administration, in getting Congress of the United States of America to pass his legislative proposals, but he was significantly unsuccessful during his second administration, in restructuring the Supreme Court of the United States of America.

Additionally, in 1904, after the Venezuela crisis, President Theodore Roosevelt in his State of the Union address made an addition to the Monroe Doctrine known as the Roosevelt Corollary.

This ultimately implies that, United States of America will have the powers to intervene in any conflict between the European countries (Germany, Britain and Italy) and Latin American countries (Caribbean and Central America) to enforce legitimate claims of the European powers instead of having them press their claims or charges directly on the Latin American countries. Also, that the United States of America has the right to use the international police (Interpol) to restore law and order around the world
