One major source I will be
using for my paper is the multiple political cartoons that were used to portray
the Judicial Reforms Bill of 1937. Below are some of the political cartoons I
will be using. I feel that political cartoons offer valuable insight into how
people perceived the issue.
|
A political cartoon showing Roosevelt's difficulties in passing the Bill |
|
A political cartoon showing the old and weary justices of the Supreme Court getting relief from the Judicial Procedures Reform Bill of 1937 |
|
A political cartoon a showing how FDR was able to get the support of the legislative branch for his New Deal programs, but not the Judicial branch. |
|
A political cartoon showing how FDR is fundamentally changing the makeup of the Supreme Court. |
|
A political cartoon showing FDR forcing the Supreme Court to go along with his New Deal programs. |
|
A political cartoon showing that if the Bill passes FDR will pack the Court with stooges. |
|
A political cartoon showing how the Bill threatens to send America towards a dictatorship. |
|
A political cartoon showing how the Legislative Branch is forced to go along with the bill or not receive special projects for their districts or states. |
Fantastic use of cartoon.
