Detailed explanation-2: -They feared that a strong central government would overpower state governments, and eventually state governments would lose their independence and influence.
Detailed explanation-3: -Setup. As Alexander Hamilton famously wrote in the Federalist Papers, the judiciary is the weakest of our three branches of government.
