Read the excerpt from an essay on John Nance Garner, Franklin Roosevelt’s Vice President to answer the question.
On February 5, 1937, Roosevelt called Garner and a handful of Democratic congressional leaders to a meeting at the White House, where he stunned them with an audacious plan to reorganize the Supreme Court. Up to six new justices would be chosen by the president in an attempt to ensure many years of judicial approval for his liberal legislative agenda.
Garner himself was not among those critics who considered the proposal to be a threat to the judiciary's independence, believing that "no President can control that court." However, he was deeply concerned about the threat to party unity posed by Roosevelt's somewhat reckless method of handling such a controversial proposal. Garner complained that the president sent the plan to Congress, "without notice after saying he had no legislative program other than outlined . . . it was not in the party platform nor was it taken after consultation with Congressional leaders who would have to put it through. Party policy is not made by one man without consultation with elected officials from another branch of government."
Which of the following best summarizes Garner’s issue with Roosevelt’s plan?
A.
Garner was afraid Roosevelt’s plan to add judges to the Supreme Court would make it difficult for them to decide cases.
B.
Garner was afraid Roosevelt’s plan would give Roosevelt too much power over the Supreme Court rulings.
C.
Garner was afraid implementing Roosevelt’s plan would cause arguments because they did not consult with Republicans.
D.
Garner was afraid implementing Roosevelt’s plan would not receive support from the Democratic members of Congress.
D. Garner was afraid implementing Roosevelt’s plan would not receive support from the Democratic members of Congress.

Again, just as the largest measure of responsibility in the government of the nation rests upon local self-government, so does the largest measure of social responsibility in our country rest upon the individual.
Our system, based upon the ideals of individual initiative and of equality of opportunity, is not an artificial thing. Rather it is the outgrowth of the experience of America, and expresses the faith and spirit of our people.
Ours must be a country of such stability and security as can not fail to carry forward and enlarge among all the people that abundant life of material and spiritual opportunity which it has represented among all nations since its beginning.
"so does the largest measure of social responsibility in our country rest upon the individual." and "based upon the ideals of individual initiative and of equality of opportunity, is not an artificial thing."

On-site inspections and short-notice inspections will be permitted within the Soviet Union. Again, this is a first-time event, a breakthrough, and that's why I believe this treaty will not only lessen the threat of war, it can also speed along a process that may someday remove that threat entirely.
It is an understanding that will help keep the peace as we work toward the ultimate goal of our foreign policy: a world where the people of every land can decide for themselves their form of government and way of life.
Let me explain this with a saying I've often repeated: Nations do not distrust each other because they're armed; they are armed because they distrust each other.
And that's why it was vital to establish a broader summit agenda, one that dealt not only with arms reductions but also people-to-people contacts between our nations and, most important, the issues of human rights and regional conflicts.
