Question

On what grounds does Hamilton argue that the judicial branch of government is the least powerful of the three?

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

According to Hamilton, judicial branch of the government is practically incapable of  imposing on the Constitution. The judiciary has neither power to force nor will, thus it is capable of exercising judgement only.

In the No.78 essay of the Hamilton, there was very less concern that the the political branches might be overpowered by the judicial branch; since, the flow of money is governed by the Congress and the military by the President.

There would be a dependence of judicial branch on the political branch for the sustenance of the judgments.

From the standpoint of the constitution, the judicial branches did not have equal powers as compared to the other branches other than merely exercising judgement.
