Constitutional Courts or "Article III Courts" were initially created by the Judiciary Act of 1789. Congress determines how many Federal Judges/Courts the Federal Government will have at any given time. All District and Circuit Judges are given life terms given good behavior. This is the same for the Supreme Court.
