Who stated that political freedom included a separate executive legislative and judicial branc?
The concept that political freedom includes a separation of powers among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches is often attributed to the Enlightenment philosopher Montesquieu. In his work "The Spirit of the Laws," published in 1748, he argued that this separation is essential to prevent tyranny and protect individual liberties. Montesquieu's ideas significantly influenced the framers of the United States Constitution.
Why do you think the framers wanted to protect the judicial branch from political influence?
The judicial branch was intended as a check on the power of congress to write laws. Theoretically, a political faction could gain control of both houses of congress in sufficient numbers to supersede the veto power of the executive branch - such a faction-dominated congress could basically enact any law they decided to, including laws which (let's say) ended the executive branch, abolished elections, and amended the constitution to leave them and their appointed successors perpetually in power (versions of this kind of legalistic coup d'état have in fact happened in several nations in recent history). The judicial branch checks this through its power to overturn any law that contradicts the spirit and letter of the constitution. However, if the justices were subject to political influences, then the same political forces which allowed such a noxious faction to gain control of congress could be used to sway the opinions of the justices as well, defeating their primary purpose.
Why did the framers agree on this length of term of supreme court justices?
The framers of the Constitution agreed on lifetime terms for Supreme Court justices to ensure judicial independence and protect them from political pressures. By granting justices tenure "during good behavior," they aimed to insulate the judiciary from the whims of the electorate and legislature, allowing justices to make impartial decisions based on law rather than popular opinion. This structure was intended to uphold the rule of law and maintain a balance of power among the branches of government.

How much power should be given to the judicial branch?
The Framers believed that separation of powers and checks and balances were essential to protect the rights of the people. They had to decide which powers to give to each of the branches of the national government, and how to give each branch ways to check the powers of the other branches. Today we will learn about the problems the Framers had in deciding how much power to give to the executive and judicial branches.
