"what is the main idea of this cartoon?

(2)congress refused to pass new deal legislation.
(3)president franklin d. roosevelt had not faced any opposition to his new deal.
(4)congress voted to increase the size of the supreme court."

The correct answer is 1) "President Franklin D. Roosevelt wanted to end the Supreme Court opposition to the New Deal."

The main idea of this cartoon was: "President Franklin D. Roosevelt wanted to end the Supreme Court opposition to the New Deal."

What happened was that the Supreme Court had declared unconstitutional two of its New Deal Programs in 1936: the Agricultural Adjustment Act and the National Recovery Act. By the beginning of 1937, President Roosevelt referred to this opposition on the part of the Supreme Court to his programs, when he addressed the nation in its state of the union address. That is why, on February 5th, 1937, he passed the Judiciary Reorganization Bill. This made some cartoonists of the time publish funny cartoons about this issue.
