In Federalist Paper No. 66, Alexander Hamilton addresses criticisms of the Senate’s role in impeachment trials. Critics worried that the Senate would have too much power by acting as both a legislative body and a court of impeachment. Hamilton responds by pointing out that the Constitution separates the powers of impeachment, with the House responsible for accusing and the Senate responsible for trying cases. He also argues that Senators are accountable to the people, reducing the risk of bias. Hamilton reaffirms that the Senate’s involvement in impeachment trials is crucial for preventing abuses of power in government.
