Where can you find a quote by one of our Founding Fathers referring to the danger of our country being ruled by the judicial system?
Jefferson was against the idea of judicial review...search "jefferson, judicial review," something might come up. I think Alexander Hamilton or James Madison wrote about the dangers of judicial power in the Federalist papers too, you might want to check that out. Actually, Hamilton, writing in the Federalist Papers expressed confidance that the Judicial Branch would be the weakest because it has neither the power of the sword nor the power of the purse. However, he did warn that liberty would be threatened if either of the powerful branches united with the Judicial. See Federalist Paper # 78. The later has not happened, but in some ways, because of the lack of committment to their oaths to uphold the Constitution, and willingness to let the Judicial Branch take all the heat for doing so, it seems as if the Judicial Branch has become the strongest. The truth is, however, that the people still have the power to make those weak members do their jobs. The threat to fire is a powerful, if under-used tool in our hands (Prof. Jeffrey.)

What does “checks and balances” mean?
1. The system of checks and balances in government was developed to ensure that no one branch of government would become too powerful. The framers of the U.S. Constitution built a system that divides power between the three branches of the U.S. government—legislative, executive and judicial—and includes various limits and controls on the powers of each branch.2. A system that allows each branch of a government to amend or veto acts of another branch so as to prevent any one branch from exerting too much power.3. The main purpose of the system of checks and balances in the United States Constitution is to ensure that no one branch of the American government becomes more powerful than the others. This is also referred to as the separation of powers.

Was Alexander Hamilton correct when he called the judicial branch the least dangerous branch of government?
Hamilton saw the judicial branch as a mere interpreter of laws with no real power over policy. However, the power to interpret or in some cases reinterpret laws has proved to be rather influential. It has made major differences in US policy in past cases.For more information, see Related Questions, below.

What is the separation of powers in the US Constitution?
The Constitutional doctrine of separation of powersbetween the three branches--the executive, the legislative and the judicial--has evolved to preserve the coequality of the branches between the three, as envisaged in the U.S. Constitution. Essentially, the judicial branch interprets the laws, the legislative branches formulates the laws, and the executive branch executes and enforces the laws.The doctrine of checks and balances embodies the Constitutional powers of one branch to "check" or offset as to the others in some systemic way, the powers of the other two branches, while separation of powers otherwise serves to "balance" the coequality of the three branches.An example of a check accruing to the executive branch is the Presidential veto or the administrative rulemaking role of the executive branch. An example of a check accruing to the legislative branch is where a Presidential Executive Order must find its basis in Acts of Congress in order to be valid or the power to impeach and remove from office a President for misconduct constituted by "high crimes and misdemeanors". An example of a check accruing to the judicial branch is its power of judicial review to negate legislation that it deems unconstitutional, and the lifetime appointment, subject only to the legislative branch powers of impeachment and removal from office for misconduct, of federal judges.
