The judicial branch

Congress

78, the judicial branch of government is without a doubt the weakest branch. In the Constitution, the “judicial power” is given to the Supreme Court and to any lower courts that Congress creates, which deals with the legislative branch of government, however, the Constitution does not define “the judicial power”.

The judicial branch—even though it has the power to interpret laws—is considered the weakest of the three branches by many because it cannot ensure that its decisions are enforced. However, federal judges have great power due in part to their longevity. Federal judges receive life appointments under the Constitution.

The Power of the Courts The federal courts’ most important power is that of judicial review, the authority to interpret the Constitution.

Federal courts enjoy the sole power to interpret the law, determine the constitutionality of the law, and apply it to individual cases. The courts, like Congress, can compel the production of evidence and testimony through the use of a subpoena.

The duties of the judicial branch include:

• Interpreting state laws;
• Settling legal disputes;
• Punishing violators of the law;
• Hearing civil cases;
• Protecting individual rights granted by the state constitution;
• Determing the guilt or innocence of those accused of violating the criminal laws of the state;
