Describe symbolism in Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal, 1932-1940 by William E. Leuchtenburg

Mention of Symbols:

"In attempting to alter the Court, Roosevelt had attacked one of the symbols which many believed the nation needed for its sense of unity as a body politic. The Court fight evoked a strong feeling of nostalgia for the days of the Founding Fathers, when, it seemed, life was simpler and principles fixed." Chap. 10, p. 235
