Federalist Paper No. 78

The federalist paper No.78 was written May 28, 1788, by Alexander Hamilton. the papers main focus was on the judicial branch, judicial selection, tenure in office, and scope of judicial authority. The judicial branch of the United States is in control supreme court, the Judges, and the inferior court. The judicial branch has power of all cases dealing with law and equity, arising under the Constitution, federal laws, and treaties made; all cases involving ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls; all cases involving admiralty and maritime jurisdiction; all cases in which the United States is a party to the controversy; all cases in which the controversy is between two or more States; all cases between citizens of different states; all

In federalist paper 78, Hamilton said that the judicial branch was “least dangerous” and the “weakest of the three departments of power”. However, in today’s society, the three branches are considered equal, like the other branches the judicial has its own powers to take care of. Throughout our history, the judicial branch has been accountable for some of the most influential and pressing issues in America. For example, Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) a supreme court case that challenged Louisiana statutes saying that railroads provide separation for black and white labor workers. The supreme court realized that separate-but-equal did not violate the equal protections clause of our Fourteenth Amendments section 1.

Ever since the equal rights movement (1923-1972) we have become a more diversity group of people when it comes to judges and the political organization. In 2014 two African Americans and for women has on the court. For example, President Barack Obama not only was he our first African American President in America he nominated our first Hispanic Supreme Court justice Sonia Sotomayor (O’Connor, 2014, p.260).Other then that the federalist paper 1788 are the same as today's system .For instance, the appointing of the judges; is the same as the appointing of the Union officers . Also all judges who may be appointed by the United States are still holded to their offices only if they have good behavior; which is agreeable to the State constitutions. The standard of good behavior for the period of time in office of the judicial magistracy, is certainly one of the most valued of the modern improvements in the practice of
