What type of courts can Congress establish to assist the US Supreme Court?
Article III of the US Constitution refers to them as "inferior courts."
What word does the Constitution use to describe courts that have less power than the Supreme Court?
Article III refers to such courts as "inferior," although certain lower courts are also described as "tribunals" in other parts of the Constitution.
How many courts did the constitution create?
One. Article 3 of the Constitution states that the judicial power of the United States shall be vested in one Supreme Court and such other inferior courts as Congress may create. Article 1 gives Congress the power to create tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is the only constitutionally created court.
Why were the inferior courts created-?
To carry the load. Superior Courts would crumble under the case load if lower courts didn't take up the slack.
Are tribunals inferior to the US Supreme Court?
Yes. Article III, Section 1 mandates one Supreme Court and refers to other courts (and tribunals) as inferior:Article III, Section 1Section 1. The judicial power of the United States, shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The judges, both of the supreme and inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behaviour, and shall, at stated times, receive for their services, a compensation, which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office.
