Explanation:

Alexander Hamilton believed the Supreme - Court's power came from the reasonableness and fairness of its judgments. It doesn't have the power of legislation (Congress does), the power of the purse (Congress also controls spending), or the power of the sword (the executive branch is in charge of enforcement). Its influence lies in the soundness of its legal decisions.
