Final answer:
Alexander Hamilton viewed the judicial branch as the weakest yet vital for judicial review, with less potential to threaten political rights compared to other branches.
Step-by-step explanation:
According to Alexander Hamilton in Federalist No. 78, the judicial branch is considered the weakest among the three branches of government. Hamilton explains that, despite this perceived weakness, the judicial branch has a critical power: that of judicial review. He argues that the judiciary will always be the 'least dangerous' to the political rights of the Constitution, as it lacks control over the budget and the military, unlike the legislative and executive branches.
