In The Federalist 78, Alexander Hamilton argued that the federal judiciary "is beyond comparison the weakest of the three departments of power." Which of the following statements represents a reason he gave for this argument? It has the power of the sword and the power of judgment but lacks the power of the purse. A Each branch must be given the ability to defend its power and check the others. B The federal government is further from the people and thus less accountable. C It must depend on the executive for enforcement of its decisions.

C is the correct answer "It must depend on the executive for enforcement of its decisions."

Explanation:

Alexander Hamilton argued that the Judicial system was the weakest in all of the government branches. He states several times that the Judicial system can't do anything without permission from the Executive branch. However, if there were no Executive branch, the Judicial would be stronger than the Legislative branch. The Executive branch enforces all the decisions even if the Judiciary has another opinion of the issue.
