True
In the US, the entire federal judicial system is under the US Supreme Court. Each state and territory has an independent court system. Those systems are independent of the US Supreme Court, but are required to follow the Supreme Court.
Each state was a "law unto itself"
The United States has a dual judicial system made up of the Judicial Branch of the US federalgovernment and the individual judicial branches of the 50 State governments. The judicial branches, or court systems, consist of the courts and their employees, such as justices, judges, government prosecutors, public defenders and other attorneys, administrative staff, clerks of court, and many other people.The judicial branches are independent of each other, with the state courts having jurisdiction over city, county and state laws and state constitutional issues, and the federal courts having jurisdiction over federal laws, treaties, and US constitutional issues. Sometimes cases that begin in state courts may be moved to or appealed to federal courts, but only under special circumstances.Each judicial branch uses a similar process to try cases, and each has trial courts, intermediate appellate courts, and a supreme court (or its equivalent).
State supreme courts (or their equivalent) are part of each State's Judicial branch.
At the state level, the judicial branch does many things. There are district courts in each district of a state, and a state supreme court, usually located in the capital city. They handle a myriad of lawsuits and criminal cases.
Under the Article of Confederation each state remained independent.
The state's prosecuting attorney in each judicial circuit is called the district attorney. The district attorney represents the government when it comes to criminal offenses.
Each state is under the national government, but they also have individual governments,
