The Founding Fathers believed that independent judiciary was so important because they believed in the separation of powers, and didn't want either the executive branch or Congress to gain a lot of power and become tyrannical.

Answer and explanation: The framers in United States of America believed that all the parts of government or the divisions of government should be separated and allowed to work independently without interference of any other branch. We know that there are three main divisions of US government, Judiciary, legislative and executive branches. If they were not separated they might have poked into each other's business. Although, a system of check and balance was introduced in order to diminish corrupt practices.
