Did the Judiciary Act of 1801 allow federal judges to be impeached?
No. The Constitution allows federal judges to be impeached for "high crimes and misdemeanors," the same as the US President. The Judiciary Act of 1801 reorganized the federal court system and added six new circuit courts that relieved the Supreme Court justices of their circuit riding responsibilities and shifted some judicial power from the states to the federal government.

What is the importance of the elastic clause in the Constitution?
Elastic ClauseThe elastic clause, also known as the Necessary-and-Proper Clause, is found in Article I, section 8, of the Constitution. It authorizes Congress to pass all laws "necessary and proper" to carry out the enumerated (listed) powers of Congress. The clause allows Congress some degree of flexibility in enacting legislation. It gives the Congress more power than what is stated in the Constitution. Example--the government has the power to collect taxes. But, the Constitution does not say where that money should be held. It was argued that the Elastic Clause gave Congress the power to establish a National Bank to hold the money. It allows Congress to pass laws that are needed as time changes.
