- Title
SEPARATION OF POWERS: JUDICIAL INDEPENDENCE.
- Authors
ERVIN JR., SAM J.
- Abstract
The article looks at the doctrine of the separation of powers and judicial independence in the U.S. The U.S. Constitution was drafted in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1787, which covered the creation of a government separated into three branches, namely the executive, the legislative and the judicial. Several constitutions that contained prohibitions of executive control over the judiciary have been developed by several U.S. states after 1776. The Judiciary Act of 1789 was passed during the first Congress meeting following the drafting of the new Constitution. A provision of the law established the Supreme Court and a federal district court in each U.S. state.
