How did President Adams try to pack the court through the Judiciary Act of 1801?
President Adams used new provisions of the Judiciary Act of 1801 in an attempt to pack the court. The 1801 Act replaced the 1789 Act, reorganized the federal court system, redrew Districts and added five new District Court judges and sixteen Circuit judges to relieve the US Supreme Court justices of their circuit-riding responsibilities. Adams exclusively appointed members of his Federalist party to the new judgeships, inviting criticism for court-packing.A second piece of legislation, the District of Columbia Organic Act of 1801 allowed Adams to create 42 new justice of the peace positions (low-level judiciary) to serve the District of Columbia.For more information, see Related Questions, below.
Which act set up regional courts for US?
Congress established the US Courts of Appeals under the Evarts Act (Judiciary Act) of 1801, assigning one court for each of the nine judicial circuits. The Evarts Act reduced the Supreme Court's caseload at a time when the justices lacked judicial discretion (the ability to choose which cases they hear), an important development in the history of the federal judiciary.The Courts of Appeals officially adopted the name US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts in the judicial code of 1948.There are currently thirteen US Courts of Appeals Circuits, numbered First through Eleventh (e.g., US Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit), plus the District of Columbia Circuit and the Federal Circuit.
Who was the Federalist 'midnight appointment' who presided over the US Supreme Court for 34 years?
Fourth Chief Justice of the United States (Supreme Court) John Marshall (1801-1835) is sometimes lumped in with Adams' last-minute appointments, or Midnight Judges, but this designation is incorrect. While Marshall was appointed to succeed Oliver Ellsworth after Adams lost the 1800 Presidential election to Thomas Jefferson, the decision was separate from the court-packing that occurred in late February and early March 1801.By 1801, Chief Justice Ellsworth was in poor health and unlikely to preside over the Court much longer, regardless of who won the Presidential election. Adams' replacement of Ellsworth with Marshall was calculated to ensure the Judicial Branch remained under Federalist Party guidance, but was the sort of political decision any President would make if his party was leaving office.The midnight judges, on the other hand, were all appointed to new positions created under the Judicial Act of 1801 and the District of Columbia Organic Act of 1801. The Judicial Act of 1801 expanded the Article III federal court system; the Organic Act of 1801 removed Washington, DC, from the jurisdiction of Maryland and Virginia and placed it under Congress' control.The Judicial Act allowed Adams to appoint 16 new Circuit Judges and several additional District Judges, all members of his Federalist Party, and was considered an attempt at packing the constitutional courts in order to retain Federalist control well into the future (Article III judges receive lifetime appointments).The Organic Act allowed Adams to appoint an unspecified number of justices of the peace to five-year terms of office. The 42 low-level judicial positions carried little authority, and may have been a form of political patronage (favors to supportive party members), given the unusually high number of appointments.The Federalist justices of the peace were called Midnight Judges because they were nominated on March 2 and confirmed by the Senate on March 3, 1801, the day before Adams' administration ended. Last-minute administrative details caused the commissions to remain undelivered when President Jefferson entered office on March 4, and ultimately lead to one of the US Supreme Court's most important cases, Marbury v. Madison, (1803).For more information, see Related Questions, below.
