The Judiciary Act of 1789
Congress created the Supreme Court of the United States and the first "inferior courts" of the federal judiciary in the Judiciary Act of 1789, but has expanded or dismantled parts of the federal court system at various points in history via other Judiciary Acts. The only federal court Congress cannot abolish is the Supreme Court because it is mandated under Article III of the Constitution.
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."
Congress created and expanded the federal court system to ensure a uniform interpretation and application of federal laws across the United States, addressing the limitations of state courts in handling federal issues. This expansion aimed to enhance judicial efficiency, provide access to justice for citizens, and uphold constitutional rights. Additionally, establishing a robust federal judiciary was essential for balancing power among the branches of government and protecting against potential abuses at the state level.
See the Judiciary Act of 1789. Not only did it establish the three tiered structure of the federal court system, but established the supreme court as well. It left the details of lower courts to Congress.
