Alexander Hamilton, author of numbers 78, 79, 80, and 81 of the Federalist Papers, justifies the specific provisions of Section 1 of Article 3 of the Constitution by defending his views on the Judiciary. He also explains some points that were hard to comprehend, more thoroughly, along with his view on the role of the Supreme Court.
             Tenure, when used by Mr. Hamilton, means in short, the occupancy of a seat on the Supreme Court for a Justice.

This is explained by Alexander Hamilton in the Federalist Papers number 79. He states "The salaries of judicial officers may from time to time be altered, as occasion shall require, yet so as never to lessen the allowance with which any particular judge comes into office, in respect to him... But with regard to the judges, who, if they behave properly, will be secured in their places for life..." Mr. Hamilton is justifying the guidelines of fixed salaries for a federal judge.
