montesquieu, who is one of the main commentators of this literature, in describing judicial function, says that judicial work is the same as law enforcement, only the enforcement of law in a special situation, in the name of settling lawsuits and resolving people's disputes, that's why montesquieu used an adjective "nothing" for the judiciary. he says that in my opinion, the function of the judiciary is not separate from the function of the executive branch. in the same way, kazal, in the same way, and many of the current and former jurists of our country they believe that judicial work is a form of law enforcement, so what was the reason that the judiciary became independent and today we know it as the third power, so the only reason is the importance of judicial work and the need to give independence to judges. this is the only philosophy, so we if we want to design the judiciary, i am here. if we want to define the judiciary, if we want to reform it, we must constantly be careful about this issue and the principle that the judiciary should only deal with judicial work, and it will

recognizing the importance of john, the importance of montesquieu, the importance of the common law.t's beginning to recover some of the complexity of who we are and where we came from. yeah, i would just do a small footnote. it's useful to remember that we were actually as a young country, surroundedy imperial powers and professor wood pointed out so much of the fairless agenda was trying to create a national government that had the capacity to be able to survive, even in that kind of environment. i mean, once the declaration is ■issued we are the alien body in the global political scene and we were a threat by our very nature being who we were placed. so i. j.v. hogan, by the way, i'm a product of the new haven public schools, my dad will be laid to rest in grocery cemetery as a career new haven lawyer shortly. but textualism the constitution, using a free person, what in the declaration of independence set that up as an education standard, whether it be the people who have achieved moral authority. and that would help the open wounds that danielle was still speaking to. if the if

suddenly we see that the enlightenment philosophers they're reading to structure governments like montesquieu, the separation of powers. obviously locke on the social contract. those are the four thinkers that jefferson identifies as the source of the revolution. aristotle, sydney and cicero. all of them are saying that we got to structure governments in order to prevent people from being ruled by to ensure reason and to ensure that virtue prevails. what's what's just remarkable, what a kind of core curriculum there were and their readings also, i find the differences in their political philosophies. hamilton is a big hume guy in humans. the conservative who exalts the british constitution, jefferson is a whig who reads cato's letters and sees hume as of honeyed tory ism. so his conception of states rights and limited power is derived from the whigs and hamilton with nationalism, from hume. but what all of these people share both the enlightenment, the classic folks, is a devotion, what we would call now, the liberal idea, limited government, the need for individual self-mastery, that the cor

of course, montesquieu is hugely important in that regard. recognition that the british system did have6n some original kind of, you know, accidentally they happened upon a kind of interesting checks and balancing dynamic that seemed to have some potential, but it could be improved. and so then they went about trying to improve it. and so then in that project of trying to improve it, they have to answer these questions about thehority resides. now, so which are the things that it's reasonable for the states to do, which are the things that need to be pulled to the national level, but the fact that some things do need to be done nationally is what then sort of makes it imperative there be a single national people and that they undertake the project of achieving that is not a thing that sort of falls from heaven or of that kind of they have to do work to become one people. but the p as really in order to build a structure of a sturdiness and with regard to securing achieving security that you can protect freedom, right? so freedom is the goal,
