How many US Supreme Court justices were there in 1787?
AnswerSix or zero, depending on your perspective. Six justices (one Chief Justice and five Associate Justices) were appointed in September 1789, but the Supreme Court didn't convene for the first time until 1790. The Supreme Court had been created on paper in 1789, but did not exist as an institution until the following year.ExplanationThe first bill enacted in the U.S. Congress was the Judiciary Act of 1789, legislation that established the federal court system, including the US Supreme Court. The Act called for a total of six members, a Chief Justice and five Associate Justices, who were officially headquartered in the nation's capitol.President Washington nominated the first six justices, and the Senate confirmed his nominations within a few days, in September 1789. The US Supreme Court did not convene for the first time until February 2, 1790, however.The first Court was supposed to assemble at the Royal Exchange Building in New York City (the temporary U.S. Capital from 1783-1790) on February 1, 1790, but transportation problems delayed the initial meeting by one day, so the first session actually began on February 2, 1790.Chief Justice:John Jay, New YorkAssociate Justices:John Rutledge, South CarolinaWilliam Cushing, MassachusettsJames Wilson, PennsylvaniaJohn Blair, VirginiaJames Iredell, North Carolina
