The Judiciary Act of 1789
Congress established the federal court system with the Judiciary Act of 1789. This legislation created the US Supreme Court, and a small number of District and Circuit Courts. Although Article III of the Constitution mandated a US Supreme Court, it was actually established by the 1789 legislation.Congress has passed a number of other Judiciary Acts since 1789 that have changed the composition of the federal court system.
Marbury v. Madison
The federal court system is more powerful than the state court system(s) for cases under federal or concurrent (shared) jurisdiction, as established by the US Constitution. The state court system has more power over issues involving municipal and state laws and the state constitution, provided they are not in conflict with the US Constitution. Congress had no independent authority to alter constitutional mandates, so the Judiciary Act of 1789 had no impact on this issue.
Congress has established a lot of courts in the federal judiciary; the Constitution gives them that power in Article I. The only court specifically mentioned in the Constitution is the US Supreme Court, which was mandated by Article III of the Constitution, but established by Congress in the Judiciary Act of 1789.
