The U.S. Constitution established the Supreme Court but left it to Congress to decide how many justices should make up the court. The Judiciary Act of 1789 set the number at six: a chief justice and five associate justices.

Plus one of the judges on SCOTUS at the time decided a couple cases that were more friendly to New Deal policies cause the conservatives were shook. Roosevelt just won a re-election landslide and his party controlled Congress.
