Judiciary Act

The Judiciary Act of 1789 was a law that established the framework for the U.S. judicial system. It created the structure of federal courts, including the Supreme Court, district courts, and circuit courts. The Act defined how judges were appointed, their powers, and how cases would be heard at different levels. It aimed to ensure a consistent and organized federal judiciary to interpret laws and settle disputes across the country. Essentially, it laid the legal foundation for the courts to operate effectively within the new American government.
