The Constitution gives the power of deciding the number of Supreme Court justices to Congress. In 1789, Congress called for the six appointed justices. As the nation grew in area and more judicial circuits were added, Congress adjusted the number of Supreme Court justices. In 1807, Congress adjusted the number to seven; in in 1837, nine; in 1863, ten; and in 1869, back to nine Supreme Court justices.
