Federalist Zero. 65 discusses the reasoning behind the choice from the Senate to carry out Impeachment trials. He’s sanguine about the danger of politics factions polarizing the proceedings. He rejects the Supreme Court as too little a body to represent everyone and posits that assigning the House, the representative elected by the body politic, the duty of bringing costs and prosecuting an impeachment, and assigning the Senate, a body of smart elders elected by state legislatures, the duty using the matter, is the best that can be done to effect a result of a necessary parting of powers to accomplish a fair and just outcome.
