The original court system was administered by the individual states and territories. There were no federal courts under the Articles of Confederation; all criminal and civil cases were tried by the states. The dual court system is a product of the US Constitution, which established a central government with a Judicial Branch responsible for trying cases involving federal laws, US treaties, and US constitutional issues.
In the 19th century, the state and federal court systems became less entwined, and the states lost most of their jurisdiction over federal cases.
