Summary Of The Federalist Paper 78, By Alexander Hamilton

In order to correctly analyze these questions we must have the general understanding that throughout the Federalists paper#78, Alexander Hamilton expressed the idea and importance he saw with how the Judicial branch needed to be fully independent from both the executive and legislative branch, in order to protect the public from deficiencies of decision-making by each of those two branches of government. Thus, Hamilton held that in order for the Judicial branch to perform its duties well this independence was needed. As a result, no errors in their judgment can be corrected by any institution or body of government, (Federalist Paper, #78), and in a modern sense you can see this with the supremacy of law, in which states that all acts of government

In a modern sense, proper use of Judicial Independence is important because as it says in, "May it Please The Court," on page 74, law is everywhere in modern America.

Hence why court decisions must satisfy public opinion often enough that opponents of a particular decisions will obey it because they acknowledge the legitimacy of the court that made it, (May it Please the Court, pg, 11). Thus courts must reconcile law and politics in order to ensure that citizens will obey the law and that court will remain featured actors in the American political drama. In addition to that, Americans' interest in judicial nominees reflects their growing awareness that courts, make important public policy decisions and that judges' values and personal politics affect the
