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.

Thank you for doing such stellar work on my paper. How anyone could write a paper this well on a subject this boring, is beyond me. When I tried to write it myself, I thought it would have put my professor to sleep! Your writers made it sound so interesting! I really appreciate that. Thanks a million! |

Dear Sirs: I have just placed my third order from EssaysEmpire.com this term. I feel confident that my paper will be written on time and that the quality of it will be out of the ballpark.

It is so great to be able to sit back and concern myself with my reading and exams while you do the difficult writing projects for me. That is really great. You guys are a class act! |

I ordered two papers from you at once. Both of them had strict deadlines and not that much time left. Your writers managed to get both papers to me on time, and both of them received high marks. I am so happy about this! |

Today was the perfect day to make an A+! It convinced me that there are solutions to problems that seem impossible to solve. When I realized that the due date for my paper was coming up quickly, I felt like there was nothing I could do. If I didn’t hand in my paper on time, I would get an F and fail the course. However, I had to study for 3 major exams and write two other papers. My roommate suggested that I turn the paper over to you guys, which I did, and voila! I got an A+ on it and the problem was solved. Thank you, EssaysEmpire.com and to your writers and staff. You are a great writing service. |

I had a question about the pricing. As I glanced through the EssaysEmpire.com website, I noticed that they were offering a lot for not all that much money. I spoke to a customer service person and she told me that the prices I saw on the website were accurate. Therefore, I ordered my first paper, not expecting all that much. What I got back was a brilliantly written essay that earned an A+ mark! Wow! I am impressed! |

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 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 appreciate the help your wring service gave me with my biology paper. I have never cared much for biology. It is a tough subject for me to grasp. This is why I needed so much help with my paper. The writer absolutely understood the whole topic and turned out work that would have made anyone proud. Thanks a million for the great paper. |
