One. Article 3 of the Constitution states that the judicial power of the United States shall be vested in one Supreme Court and such other inferior courts as Congress may create. Article 1 gives Congress the power to create tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is the only constitutionally created court.

No. The Constitution mandated Congress create the Supreme Court and empowered them to create whatever lower courts they deemed necessary, but the Constitution did not actually establishthe federal court system. Congress began that process with the Judiciary Act of 1789.
Congress is vested with the authority to create courts "inferior" to the US Supreme Court in both Article I and Article III of the US Constitution.
