When there is no uniform application of law how can you have anything but chaos. What could prevent it? If there was a source of disagreement what was the source...those who could use chaos to maintain power and wealth?
No. You can see some of the quotes in my initial post. It was a legitimate agreement on how to structure the checks and balances, and some thought if any one branch had the final say it would tilt the balance. Some also felt that a small group of people insulated from the voters were the wrong branch to have this power, so they might instead have argued that the legislature should have the power. It was by no means as clear-cut as you are pretending.
