The Scope of Judicial Power
Judicial power is passive and reactive Hamilton (Federalist) called it “the least dangerous
branch” The Framers viewed the federal judiciary as an
important check against Congress and the President (Checks & Balances)
Has no influence over the “sword” or “purse” Judicial power is ensured via:
Insulation from public opinion Insulation from the rest of govt.

Judicial Federalism: State & Federal Courts (write down)
The US has a dual court system: state and federal; they exist and operate at the same time in the same geographic areas While each hears certain types of cases, neither is
completely independent of the other. The two systems often interact and share the goal of fairly handling legal issues.
![Page 10: 1.4 day 1 ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062319/554d6a8eb4c905f6388b56d7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Why two court systems?
The Constitution created a govt. structure known as federalism that calls for the sharing of powers between federal and state govts. It gives certain powers to the federal govt. and reserves the rest for the states. The federal court system deals with legal issues expressly
granted to it by the Constitution. The state court systems deal w/ state constitutions and the
legal issues that the U.S. Constitution didn’t give to the federal govt. or explicitly deny to the states. For example, because the Constitution gives Congress sole
authority to make laws concerning bankruptcies, a state court would lack jurisdiction. Likewise, since the Constitution does not give the federal govt. authority in most family law matters, a federal court would lack jurisdiction in a divorce case.

Judicial SystemsThe Adversarial System
Judges serve as relatively passive and detached
referees who do not argue with attorneys or
challenge evidence
The Inquisitorial System
Judges take an active role in discovering and
evaluating evidence, will question witnesses, and
intervene as deemed necessary
• Court of law is a neutral arena where 2 parties argue their differences
• The federal government brings criminal cases
• The federal judiciary decides the cases

Types of Legal Disputes• Criminal Law
– Crimes against the public order
– Liberty is at stake– Right to government-
provided attorneys– Right to trial by jury
• Civil law– Relations between
individuals, and their legal rights
– Typically monetary punishment
The contemporary debate over the Supreme Court's role is really a debate about the proper balance between
government authority versus individual rights.
The Great Debate over the Proper Role of the Courts

Strict and Loose Construction
Strict: literal reading of the Constitution by examining the original language of the document and the intent of the framers.
Loose: a belief in a flexible reading of the Constitution, taking into account modern values and realities.
![Page 19: 1.4 day 1 ppt](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062319/554d6a8eb4c905f6388b56d7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Strict vs. Loose
Thomas Jefferson believed in a strict construction of the Constitution. He believed people should follow exactly what was stated and allowed in it. When it came to the national bank, he believed in a
strict interpretation, as well. On the contrary, he believed in a loose interpretation
of the Louisiana Purchase.

Strict vs. Loose
On the other hand, Alexander Hamilton believed in a loose construction of the Constitution, and also the national bank.
He thought you could take whatever action you wanted, as long as the document did not specifically say you couldn't do it.
