  • Federalist No. 78 is an essay by Alexander Hamilton, the seventy-eighth of The Federalist Papers. Like all of The Federalist papers, it was published under the pseudonym Publius. Titled "The Judiciary Department", Federalist No. 78 was published May 28, 1788, and first appeared in a newspaper on June 14 of the same year. It was written to explicate and justify the structure of the judiciary under the proposed Constitution of the United States; it is the first of six essays by Hamilton on this issue. In particular, it addresses concerns by the Anti-Federalists over the scope and power of the federal judiciary, which would have comprised unelected, politically insulated judges that would be appointed for life. The Federalist Papers, as a foundation text of constitutional interpretation, are frequently cited by U.S. jurists, but are not law. Of all the essays, No. 78 is the most cited by the justices of the United States Supreme Court. Federalist No. 78 quotes Montesquieu: "Of the three powers [...], the judiciary is next to nothing." There was little concern that the judiciary might be able to overpower the political branches; since Congress controlled the flow of money and the President the military, courts did not have nearly the same power from a constitutional design standpoint. The Judiciary would depend on the political branches to uphold its judgments. Legal academics often argue over Hamilton's description of the judiciary as the "least dangerous" branch. Hamilton also explains how federal judges should retain life terms as long as those judges exhibit good behavior. Federalist No. 78 discusses the power of judicial review. It argues that the federal courts have the job of determining whether acts of Congress are constitutional and what must be done if the government is faced with the things that are done on the contrary of the Constitution.

  • Federalist No. 78 es un ensayo de Alexander Hamilton, el septuagésimo octavo de The Federalist Papers. Como todos los artículos de The Federalist, fue publicado utilizando el seudónimo Publius. Titulado "El Departamento Judicial", el Federalist No. 78 fue publicado el 28 de mayo de 1788 y apareció por primera vez en un periódico el 14 de junio del mismo año. Fue escrito para explicar y justificar la estructura del poder judicial según la Constitución propuesta de los Estados Unidos; es el primero de seis ensayos de Hamilton sobre este tema. En particular, aborda las preocupaciones de los antifederalistas sobre el alcance y el poder del poder judicial federal, que habría estado compuesto por jueces no electos vitilicios. Los Federalist Papers, como texto de base de interpretación constitucional, son frecuentemente citados por juristas estadounidenses, pero no son leyes. De entre todos los ensayos (85 en total), el número 78 es el más citado por los jueces de la Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos.​ En el Federalist No. 78, Hamilton dijo que la rama judicial del gobierno propuesto sería la más débil de las tres ramas porque "no tenía influencia sobre la espada o el bolso... Realmente se puede decir que no tiene FUERZA. Ni VOLUNTAD, sino simplemente juicio". El federalista No. 78 cita a Montesquieu: "De los tres poderes, [...] el poder judicial es casi nada". Había poca preocupación de que el poder judicial pudiera dominar las ramas políticas; Como el Congreso controlaba el flujo de dinero y el presidente militar, los tribunales no tenían casi el mismo poder desde el punto de vista del diseño constitucional. El poder judicial dependería de las ramas políticas para defender sus sentencias. ​ Federalist No. 78 discute el poder de la revisión judicial. Sostiene que los tribunales federales tienen el trabajo de determinar si los actos del Congreso son constitucionales y qué se debe hacer si el gobierno hace al contrario de lo que establece la Constitución.
