Best Answer

Jefferson was concerned that the Supreme Court would create an oligarchy (a form of government where power is concentrated in the hands of an elite group). He was also concerned that the judiciary would abuse the power, which he never acknowledged as constitutionally valid, and become a despotic branch of government. He believed judicial review violated the separation of powers in the Constitution.

What sitting Vice-President has run against a sitting President?

This happened in 1800 when VP Thomas Jefferson ran against President John Adams. In those days the presidential candidate with the second most votes became vice president so Jefferson was the VP because he lost to Adams in 1792. Since then the Constitution has been amended so that the president and vice-president are from the same party. so it is not likely to happen again.
