The federal judiciary was given form and substance by?

The Judiciary Act of 1789.


Was the Judiciary Act of 1789 repealed?

No. Chief Justice Marshall declared Section 13 of the Judiciary Act of 1789 unconstitutional, but that was just a small portion of the Act. The Judiciary Act of 1789 was neither revised nor repealed. The Judiciary Act of 1801, passed during the final days of President Adams' administration, was repealed after Thomas Jefferson and a new Congress took office. Congress repealed the Act because it expanded the Federal court system in a way that allowed President Adams to ensure Federalist Party members dominated the Judicial Branch of Government. When the Judiciary Act of 1801 was repealed, the Judiciary Act of 1789 was temporarily reinstated. For more information, see Related Questions, below.


What actions were taken when President Jefferson took office to stop President Adams' attempt at court-packing?

Congress passed the Repeal Act of 1802 (aka the Judiciary Act of 1802), which eliminated all the provisions of the Judiciary Act of 1801 and replaced it with the terms of the Judiciary Act of 1789. This reinstated the Supreme Court justices' circuit-riding responsibilities and constitutionally removed the new courts and judges added in the Judiciary Act of 1801.


What states passed the Judiciary Act of 1789?

None. The states were not involved with the creation or passage of the Judiciary Act of 1789; the Act was a federal law established by the First Congress operating under the new Constitution.
