In it, Jackson traces the rise and fall of the influence of the Supreme Court of the United States, of its changes in make-up, in numbers, of its reversal of itself, of the dangers of judicial supremacy, when it closed its eyes to ""peaceful and democratic conciliation of our social and economic conflicts"". He then examines the response--President Franklin Roosevelt's 1937 effort to resist judicial expansionism through "Court-packing" legislation.
