Question

Why did the farmers believe that an independent judiciary was so important?

Answer 1

The Founding Fathers believed that an independent judiciary was extremely  important due to the fact they strongly believed in the Separation of Powers. Not only that but they didn't want either the executive branch or Congress to gain too much power and become tyrannical.

Answer 2

Answer and explanation: The framers in United States of America believed that all the parts of government or the divisions of government should be separated and allowed to work independently without interference of any other branch. We know that there are three main divisions of US government, Judiciary, legislative and executive branches. If they were not separated they might have poked into each other's business. Although, a system of check and balance was introduced in order to diminish corrupt practices.
