Question

The passage below about government is from the Federalist No. 47.

The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands… may justly be called the very definition of tyranny.

How is the author's view from this passage reflected in the U.S. Constitution? The U.S. Constitution gives unlimited power to the judiciary.
The U.S. Constitution creates an independent judiciary.
The U.S. Constitution requires the executive branch to approve decisions of the judicial branch.
The U.S. Constitution requires the legislative branch to approve decisions of the judicial branch.

Answer 1

The U.S. Constitution creates an independent judiciary.

Answer 2

The U.S. Constitution creates an independent judiciary.

Step-by-step explanation:

For reliable protection of society from the danger of tyranny, power had to be distributed among the branches of government.

The fundamental principle of the Constitution is the principle of separation of powers. It presupposes the organizational independence of the three branches of state power - legislative, executive, judicial and the delineation of functions between them. Power should be divided between different state bodies in such a way that they mutually control and restrain each other. As a result, each of the main authorities received significant independence.

The US Constitution does not contain any general, declarative article that would fix the theory of separation of powers as a fundamental principle of building a state. At the same time, Art. 2 (Division 1) and Art. Section 3 (Division 1) indicates that there are executive and judicial powers in the United States.
