Article III of the United States Constitution

Article III of the U.S. Constitution establishes the judicial branch, which includes the Supreme Court and other federal courts. It defines their powers, such as interpreting laws, ensuring they comply with the Constitution, and resolving disputes under federal law. It also outlines the jurisdiction of these courts and details the term lengths, protections for judges (like protection from ruling removal except through impeachment), and the authority to hear cases involving the Constitution, federal laws, treaties, and disputes between states or citizens from different states. This article ensures an independent judiciary that upholds the rule of law.
