On August 4, 1735, John Peter Zenger is brought to trial. In a surprise move, his supporters hire a brilliant lawyer from Philadelphia to defend him. Andrew Hamilton argues in court that Zenger should not be found guilty of seditious libel<span> because the Journal's criticisms of Cosby's government were true.</span>
D. Both claimed that people should learn from nature rather than science
Explanation:
Hamilton made two principal points in the essay. First, he argued for the independence of the judiciary from the other two branches of government, the executive and the legislative. In presenting a case for the judiciary, he reached his second major conclusion: that the judiciary must be empowered to strike down laws passed by Congress that it deems "contrary to the manifest tenor of the Constitution."
In presenting his argument for the independence of the judiciary, Hamilton claimed that it was by far the weakest of the three branches. It did not, he said, have the "sword" of the executive, who is commander in chief of the nation's armed forces, nor the "purse" of the legislature, which approves all the tax and spending measures of the national government. It had, according to Hamilton, "neither FORCE nor WILL but merely judgment."
