G. Morris were each learned lawyers of recognized ability ; but as patri- ots, it probably did not occur to them, that exclusive au- thority to interpret the constitution carried with it the power to change the constitution at will, which, coupled with life tenure in office, tended to make aristrocrats of the judges, and cause them to lean to an aristocracy in their rulings and construction of the powers under the constitution. The history of governments shows that the judiciary is as much incl...ined to augment the powers of their gov- ernment as the officers of any other department thereof. But that is a natural weakness of human nature, for the greater the powers of the government, the greater the powers of the judiciary' must be ; and the greater their powers, the more resplendent their official position is ORGANIZATION OF JUDICIARY DEPARTMENT. 245 made, and it is quite natural for them to grasp after power and position, Without intending any reflection on the personal char- acter of the judges of the supreme court of the United States, for they have always been gentlemen of such high character, and recognized patriotism, that any re- flection on them, would recoil on their assailant, yet the history of adjudications in the United States shows that they were not strangers to this human weakness, and that on several occasions they have shown a disposition to augment the powers of the United States, which will be pointed out in a subsequent part of this chapter.
