Why would the United States choose to create a court system separate from the government?

Because the Framers of the Constitution did not want the government to have all the power they wanted a system of checks and balances. The government already controlled most of what the people could and could not do. So the Framers put in place a system where the people could still have a sense of freedom and not feel as if the government had them under control.

Explanation:

the catholic church withhold people's access to the bible during the middle ages.

people could go to church and listen to the teachings, but it was absolutely forbidden to own and/or read the books of both the old and new testaments. it was also prohibited to translate the books (which where originally in biblical hebrew) to any other language.

this was done so the church could remain in control of what their teachings were and to enhance their importance and power, while also being able to judge people's actions through information that was unavailable for the general public.

may i ask which amendments?
