Answer: Institutional expansion of the number of Supreme Court judges.

Step-by-step explanation:

In February 1937, the president announced a law that is still the subject of controversy among historians. Namely, he intended to expand the number of Supreme Court judges to 15 members. The president's main argument for this policy was the effectiveness of the said institution. Critics of the idea have pointed out that the president intends to remove all those who did not view his economic reform package called the New Deal favorably.
