4185. JUDICIARY (Federal), Legislative, Executive and.—
The dignity and stability
of government in all its branches, the
morals of the people, and every blessing of
society, depend so much upon an upright and
skillful administration of justice, that the
judicial power ought to be distinct from
both the legislative and executive, and independent
upon both, that so it may be a check
upon both, as both should be checks upon
that.—
To George Wythe.
