Answer:

appoint as many as six additional Supreme Court justices.

Step-by-step explanation:

President Franklin Roosevelt's judicial reform bill was proposed in 1937 during his first tenure. He wanted to appoint as many as six additional Supreme Court Judges which would lead to packing up the court and an increase in age of judges to 70 years was also proposed.

The bill wasn’t accepted as the Supreme Court found it to be unconstitutional because his main aim was to use it to have more rulings which would favor his New Deal laws.
