Other Sources I Am Using For my Paper Part IV


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.
