What president gave the fewest speeches?

My educated guess would be that William Henry Harrisongave the fewest speeches as President, since he was in office for only one month. In his lifetime, Zachary Taylor may likely have given the fewest, since he never ran for office before he was nominated for President, did not campaign for the office after he as nominated and he died before he could run for a second term.

What is the least and most number of justices that have been on the US Supreme Court at one time?

The Federalist-dominated Congress set the size of the US Supreme Court at five (by attrition) in the Judiciary Act of 1801 in order to prevent incoming Democratic-Republican President Thomas Jefferson from influencing the Court's decisions by nominating members of his party to any potential vacancies. The newly elected Congress repealed the legislation, returning the number of justices to six before any changes occurred. Not counting temporary vacancies, the fewest authorized members of the Court was six.Congress increased the size of the Court in the Tenth Circuit Act of 1863 from 9 to 10, where it remained for three years, before dropping to seven justices in the Judiciary Act of 1866. This action was taken in order to prevent President Andrew Johnson from naming any justices to the Court. The legislation eliminated a vacancy created by the death of William Catron, which reduced the number of justices from 10 to 9. When Justice James Moore Wayne died in 1867, the size of the Court was briefly reduced to 8 members, but never reached the 7 targeted by Congress.According to legislation, the Supreme Court ranged in size from five to ten justices; in reality, there were never fewer than six justices, and the full complement of ten justices sat for only one week, in December 1863, due to illness and subsequent vacancies.For more information, see Related Questions, below.

Historically what has been the fewest number of justices to sit on the court?

Six.The Judiciary Act of 1801 added Circuit Courts and more judges to assist the Supreme Court with its caseload, and subsequently reduced the number of seats from six to five. The reduction was a blatant attempt on the part of the lame duck Federalist Congress to prevent new President Thomas Jefferson from having an opportunity to appoint a justice to the Court until two vacancies occurred.The number of seats on the bench can only be reduced by attrition, however, because the Constitution guarantees lifetime appointment to the justices (later extended to all Article III judges), so there were never fewer than six justices on the Court.The new Democratic-Republican Congress passed the Repeal Act of 1802, reversing the 1801 Act, and restoring the number of seats to six.For more information, see Related Questions, below.
