Which entity is responsible for creating inferior federal Courts?

• A. The President
• B. Congress
• C. The Supreme Court
• D. State Legislatures

Answer: (B)

Creating inferior federal courts is a power given to Congress by the Constitution. Congress has the authority to establish tribunals below the Supreme Court, like district courts and courts of appeal, and to define their jurisdiction and organization through statutes. The President’s role is to nominate judges for these courts, with Senate confirmation, but the actual creation and shaping of the courts come from Congress. The Supreme Court doesn’t create or abolish lower federal courts; it interprets laws and can influence jurisdiction through its decisions. State legislatures have authority only over state courts, not federal ones.
