Content: The judicial branch system plays a major role in the supreme
court. This is known as the federal court in general. How does congress check the judicial power? Congress has two major abilities to check the actions of the Judicial branch: Congress must approve of any appointment to the Federal judiciary, so Congress can control the membership of the judiciary. Congress can pass new laws which take into account prior judicial rulings to redefine future judicial interpretations. So long as the law does not run afoul of Constitutional prohibitions, Congress can pass a law which changes how the Judicial branch must view a particular legal topic. Was Alexander Hamilton correct when he called the judicial branch the least dangerous branch of government? Hamilton saw the judicial branch as a mere interpreter of laws with no real power over policy. However, the power to interpret or in some cases reinterpret laws has proved to be rather influential.
