Alexander Hamilton wrote in The Federalist that the judiciary would be the least dangerous branch of government. He based this on the third branch lacking “the power of the executive branch and the political passions of the legislature.” He went on to state, "The judicial branch has no army to enforce its rulings and no bully pulpit to enrage the citizenry. The judiciary has only one weapon at its disposal. Integrity. And it’s given its only weapon away."
