Final answer:

The judicial branch did not develop into a weak check on the legislature and the presidency, particularly shown through cases like Marbury v. Madison and the actions of President Abraham Lincoln.


Explanation:

False. The judicial branch, especially through cases like Marbury v. Madison in 1803, gained authority over judicial review and the power to declare laws unconstitutional. Presidents, like Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War, have also expanded their powers, showing that the judiciary is not necessarily the weakest branch.
