Few institutions have created (and continue to create) as much controversy as the U.S. Supreme Court. Read Article III and discuss the benefits and the drawbacks to the "good behavior" tenure for justices, the qualifications for being a federal judge (hint: there are none), and the role of the judges in the supreme and inferior courts both in the text of the Constitution and in present day.
What critique does Brutus find in the judiciary created by the U.S. Constitution? What is Brutus's reasoning for insisting that the courts are given too much power?
How does Hamilton defend the Supreme Court in Federalist No. 78? How does he argue that the judiciary is not something to fear? Whose argument-Brutus or Hamilton-turned out to be closer to the truth?
Keep in mind recent decision by the Supreme Court and their impact on our lives to frame your understanding of a branch that has tremendous power but is unelected and keeps their position for life, regardless of whether they decide a case the way most of the people favor or counter to the wishes of the majority.
