In this video, Tom Richey introduces you to Federalist no. 78, one of the Federalist papers written by Alexander Hamilton. The main topic of this document was the independence and power of the judicial branch -- specifically the Supreme Court. The Federalist Papers were written by James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Jay in order to persuade the people of the state of New York to support the ratification of the Constitution. Antifederalist writers, such as Brutus, had claimed that the Constitution would be neither federal nor republican in nature. Madison, Hamilton, and Jay argued that the Constitution would preserve republican government and would preserve the federal system and the rights of the states.
This video will be helpful for students preparing for the AP United States Government and Politics exam. AP Gov students are expected to be familiar with Federalist 10, Federalist 51, Federalist 70, and Federalist 78.

Marshall: "Laughs in Marvury v. Madison."

The judiciary became this modern day beast because the legislature and the executive became too distracted by their own schemes and deceptions to fulfill their oblgation under article iv section 4 to defend against invasion and domestic violence. We the People then failed in reclaiming our nation. We sat by and did nothing as we watched our nation be taken from us without resistance and have done nothing but complain since. As a nation, we must democratically decide whether we want to be a democracy or remain subservient to the dictations of overlords. The people are intentionally being kept politically devided to prevent us from uniting in our common interests because these usurpers recognize that it is the only force that threatens their reign. Those who have been elected to lead have led us into civil war among ourselves? How does that make sense to anyone?

Hamilton: The judiciary is the least powerful branch of Government.
Me: Well how come 6 people were able to disregard stare decisis and overturn Roe v Wade last week then?
