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.

Hamilton envisioned the judiciary as being the "weakest" and "least dangerous" of the three great branches of government: "Whoever attentively considers the different departments of power must perceive, that, in a government in which they are separated from each other, the judiciary, from the nature of its functions, will always be the least dangerous to the political rights of the Constitution; because it will be least in a capacity to annoy or injure them." In Hamilton's mind, based upon his experience and that of the nation at the time, dangerous strength was found in the ability to wield the sword and to control the purse, neither of which the judiciary possessed.
