Did the Chief Justice of the United States set up the court system of the US?
AnswerNo. Congress established the federal court system in the Judiciary Act of 1789, and has modified the system in subsequent legislation.ExplanationThe Supreme Court is the only federal court established by the Constitution. The remaining federal courts were to be established by the Congress. Article III, Section 1, states: "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."
In what are the four ways has your original written constitution been modified informally?
There are many ways in which our constitution has been modified informally since its ratification. In practice the executive branch has grown relatively much stronger, the houses have grown relatively weaker, Congress has ceded its authority to coin money to banking interests, and the federal government involves itself with the affairs of individual citizens, all of which are contrary to the written text of the founding compact.
Which amendment affected the office of president?
The 12th Amendment provides the procedure for electing the President and the Vice President. Basically, it modified the process so that these positions are now elected by the Electoral College.
