c) Judiciary power

Federalist No. 78, authored by Alexander Hamilton, primarily focused on the judiciary’s power in the new federal government. This essay argued for the necessity of an independent judiciary to protect the Constitution and the rights of individuals against legislative encroachments. Hamilton emphasized the role of the judiciary in interpreting laws and its position as the least dangerous branch of government. Federalist No. 78 laid the groundwork for the establishment of judicial review and the balance of powers among the three branches of government, becoming a cornerstone of American constitutional law.
