Alexander Hamilton argued that federal judges should have life tenure in order to ensure their independence and impartiality. Hamilton believed that by appointing judges for life, they would not be subject to external pressures or political influences that could potentially compromise their ability to make fair and unbiased decisions. Life tenure also allows judges to make decisions based on the rule of law rather than the whims of public opinion or politicians, ultimately upholding the integrity of the judicial branch and protecting the rights of individuals.
