Type the correct answer using complete sentences. In The Federalist No. 78, Alexander Hamilton supported the creation of a judiciary that was independent of the other branches. He wrote:

“The judiciary…has no influence over either the sword [the executive] or the purse [the legislature]; no direction either of the strength or of the wealth of the society, and can take no active resolution whatever. It may truly be said to have neither FORCE nor WILL but merely judgment; and must ultimately depend upon the aid of the executive arm even for the efficacy of its judgments.”

In your own words, give Hamilton’s argument for why the judicial branch was the weakest of all of the branches.
