The New Deal Court Crisis refers to the conflict between President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Supreme Court in the 1930s. The Court struck down several New Deal programs as unconstitutional, leading FDR to propose court packing. The crisis ended when Justice Roberts switched positions, allowing New Deal programs to stand.
