In my opinion, the correct answer is D. He compares the powers of the executive and legislative branches to those of the judiciary, highlighting the strengths of the former and the relative weaknesses of the latter. In Hamilton's view, the judiciary branch is the least powerful of the three. He says that it has no real power or influence over "the sword" or "the purse", which are controlled by the executive and legislative branches. It is devoid of force and will, and it can merely judge, but even that it cannot do without help from the executive branch.
