Question

How does Hamilton convey his ideas about the power of the judicial branch of the government in Paragraph 1?

Excerpt:
Whoever attentively considers the different departments of power must perceive, that, in a government in which they are separated from each other, the judiciary, from the nature of its functions, will always be the least dangerous to the political rights of the Constitution; because it will be least in a capacity to annoy or injure them. The Executive not only dispenses the honors, but holds the sword of the community. The legislature not only commands the purse, but prescribes the rules by which the duties and rights of every citizen are to be regulated. The judiciary, on the contrary, has no influence over either the sword or the purse; no direction either of the strength or of the wealth of the society; and can take no active resolution whatever. It may truly be said to have neither FORCE nor WILL, but merely judgment; and must ultimately depend upon the aid of the executive arm even for the efficacy of its judgments.

Answer 1

Hamilton conveys his ideas about the power of the judicial branch of the government by saying that the judiciary is the least dangerous branch because it can only give it's judgment . It can not force anything upon anyone and is dependent upon the other branches in doing so.
Hope this helped.

Answer 2

The excerpt comes from the The Constitutional Convention of 1787.

The Constitutional Convention or the Grand Convention at Philadelphia, took place from May 25 to September 17, 1787, in the old Pennsylvania State House (later known as Independence Hall because of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence there eleven years before) in Philadelphia.

The Convention was intended to revise the league of states and first system of government under the Articles of Confederation. However, the intention of many of its proponents, chief among them James Madison of Virginia and Alexander Hamilton of New York, was to create a new government rather than fix the existing one.

Hamilton conveys his ideas about the power of the judicial branch of the government in Paragraph when:

A. He compares the powers of the executive and legislative branches to those of the judiciary, highlighting the strengths of the former and the relative weaknesses of the latter
