  2. Those Who Opposed • The Supreme Court has to much power • The lifelong term is unfair • The process of appointing new judges is unfair

  5. Question 2. What does Hamilton mean when he says that an “independent spirit in the judges” is essential for them to do their duty? Answer When Alexander Hamilton states that an “independent spirit in the judges” is essential for them to do their duty he means that in order for them to make the proper judgments they need to NOT be dependent on any other factors such as the President, Congress, or even citizens of the United States. These factors should not influence their decisions not one bit.
