あらすじ・解説
The Anti-Federalists argued that the proposed judiciary branch would have excessive and unchecked power, particularly through lifetime appointments that made judges unaccountable to the public. They feared that the federal courts, especially the Supreme Court, could overrule state laws and undermine state sovereignty. The lack of an effective mechanism to correct judicial errors or abuses of power worried them, as did the broad jurisdiction of the courts, which they believed would lead to centralization of authority and diminish local control. The Anti-Federalists also warned that the judiciary could interpret the Constitution in ways that expanded federal power at the expense of individual and state rights, posing a threat to liberty and democratic governance.
