Power of the Supreme Court
← Classical Principles of Argumentation | Education Budget and Disciplinary Action → |
Most of the federalist papers published by Alexander Hamilton were advocating the ratification of the constitution of the United States. In federalist paper number 78, he argues that each of the three branches of government should be the concluding judge of the constitutionality of the actions for which each of them is responsible. Since we cannot trust legislature to check itself, the courts should have the power to do so. Courts should always reschedule the judgment of an elected representative. Judges cannot check on the president since he is the appointing authority. He is the one who appoints the judges. He further argues that judges should have life tenure. This is not only a requirement but also a requisite.
I am not satisfied with Hamilton’s argument. He proposes that each branch of government should be responsible for its actions, which is not right. There should be a way in which the powers of the executive, judiciary and the legislative are checked so that they do not overstep constitutionally prescribed limits. The legislative and executive should be responsible for checking the power of the court. For illustration, the Supreme Court has power to enforce the decisions it makes. If it passes constitutional laws, which are not popular law, the legislature might decide not to aggressively enforce it. It might not spend money on enforcing Supreme Court decision. Secondly, judges should have the responsibility of checking the other branches. Since they cannot check the executive due to its appointing responsibility, they should particularly check the legislative. If the legislative branch oversteps its constitutionally approved boundary, the court should raise an alarm. In order for this delicate balance to exist, independence becomes vital. In addition, since judges have life tenure, they have complete independence.
The United States Supreme Court is not too powerful. It is in implementing its responsibility of checking the other organs that one might be misled to think that it’s too powerful. For instance, if it strikes laws passed the congress. The truth is that it has not done that because it is more powerful than the legislature but because the law was contrary to the constitution. The congress has overstepped its constitutionally approved boundary. The court is mandated with protecting the constitution therefore, it strike the law down. It declares such law as invalid.
Hamilton further illustrated that the judiciary, and that includes the Supreme Court is the weakest of the three branches. It does not have the power of the as the executive or the legislature. The executive is the commander in chief of the armed forces while the legislature approves all the spending measures of the government. Due to this weakness, the only option of protecting the court from the other two branches is by creating a permanent tenure for the judges. The tenure of the judges is permanent, permanency in office is mandatory during good behavior. Therefore, the judges cannot be changed with respect to the interests of a given branch of government. Hamilton also argued that due to the complexity of law a free society, it demand s that the judges are not replaced. Since only a few individuals posses the integrity and the knowledge required to judge the law, the few who adequate to be judges in the Supreme Court should be retained permanently.
From the above argument, it follows that not one of the branches of government is too powerful. Though independence is important, the other organs of the government check even the Supreme Court. The judges have life tenure in order to protect the independence of the court, but their decisions require the corporation of the legislature and the executive to be implemented.

I am fully satisfied with my research paper. It cannot have been easy for your writers to compose! The topic is called, "PARALLEL ALGORITHM FOR MULTI-DIMENSIONAL MATRIX MULTIPLICATION OPERATIONS REPRESENTATION USING KARNAUGH MAP”. That is a very difficult topic! However, your writers developed an algorithm, included a diagram and a graph and related multi-dimensional matrix multiplication perfectly. I am thrilled with the work I received and will be using your company again in the near future. Thank you for all of your hard work on this project. I love it! |

I don’t see how anyone could write a paper about something as boring as the psychology of the two year old, could make it sound so interesting, but your writers managed to pull it off. Thank you for putting forth such a concerted effort to do a good job. I really appreciate it. I will use your service again |

Thank you so much! I was assigned a paper that I found impossible to write. I did the reading. I did the research. However, regardless of my weak attempts, I could not formulate a cogent paper. I needed help, and EssaysEmpire.com’s writers were there for me. Customer service even arranged for me to speak with the person who was working on my paper personally. I had a lot of concerns, because my professor was very picky. However, EssaysEmpire.com was able to handle the order with no problem |

My writer revealed to me that when he isn’t working for you, he is teaching at a major university. He also told me that a lot of the other writers who work for you are professors. That is impressive! No wonder I got an A+ on my paper! |

So often, when one deals with customer service, he or she is treated rudely. That was not the case with EssaysEmpire.com. The agents were helpful and friendly, knowledable and concerned. I, for one, was astounded with their competence. When it came down to the actual written material that I ordered, it was much better than I had anticipated. There are clearly some expert writers who work for EssaysEmpire.com. I would rate this writing service as exceptional, 5 stars out of 5 stars. I will happily return when I need help with another written work. |

I am completely satisfied with the paper I purchased from your company. I only wish I had known about you last year when I took an F grade for not being able to complete a paper on time. The work you did was marvelous. Whenever I find myself falling behind in my school work, I will be sure to pass along some of my more difficult written assignments to you |

I had a hard time articulating what my professor wanted, so I was able to speak straight to my writer. After I had explained a little bit, I could tell he understood everything. He then took the ball and ran with it, so to speak. He wrote my paper in two days and it was the picture of perfection! I am very grateful that he knew what to do and how to do it so perfectly. |
