Abstract
The purpose of this thesis is to discuss the proposals of the Supreme Court throughout the life of the Court. But first I have tried to sketch the general back round of the controversy both political and economic, the effect of the decisions at the time it was rendered, and its present significance. This offers in convenient form the epoch-making decisions of the United States Supreme Court which have shaped the government and every American; it also presents an epitomized history of this country as revealed in the judgments of the Supreme tribunal of the nation. As we go over Congressional records we see that every session has the same question; should we change the Supreme Court. I do not propose to settle the question by no means but to show that the question or changing the Court has been a problem, and always will be in the future a problem because there has to be a leader in every institute whether it be in the legislature, executive or judiciary departments.
