First of all I am almost sure the Supreme Court does not establish courts but I know Congress has the power to establish courts and I believe the president may have that executive power also.

What is the only court established under the constitutional?
The Constitution didn't actually create any courts, but required Congress to establish the US Supreme Court, per Article III, Section I. Although this is the only court explicitly mentioned in the Constitution, the Framers also authorized Congress to establish other, inferior courts.Congress established the US Supreme Court in the Judiciary Act of 1789.Article III:"Section 1. The judicial power of the United States, shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The judges, both of the supreme and inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behaviour, and shall, at stated times, receive for their services, a compensation, which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office."

Did the US have a supreme court under the articles of confederation?
No. One of the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation was that it made no provision for a federal court system. Article III of the US Constitution, which replaced the Articles of Confederation, required that Congress establish the Supreme Court. In other words, the Constitution said the government had to have a supreme court, but didn't directly create one. It left that task to Congress.

Is the US Supreme Court the only court established by the Constitution?
No. The framers of the Constitution anticipated there would be a need for a more complex court system, but they gave power to Congress to determine what form the federal judiciary would take.Article III, Section 1, mandates the creation of a Supreme Court and inferior courts: The judicial power of the United States, shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The judges, both of the supreme and inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behaviour, and shall, at stated times, receive for their services, a compensation, which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office.

What court did the constitution set up?
The Constitution doesn't really establish any courts; Article III, Section 1 mandates (requires) the creation of a Supreme Court. The Judiary Act of 1789actually established the Supreme Court and a rudimentary federal judicial system. The Supreme Court didn't exist in the period between the Constitution's adoption (September 17, 1787), ratification by the states (June 21, 1788) and passage of the first Judiciary Act (September 24, 1789).Article IIISection 1. The judicial power of the United States, shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The judges, both of the supreme and inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behaviour, and shall, at stated times, receive for their services, a compensation, which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office.While differentiating between the words "establish" and "mandate" may seem like unnecessary semantics, it's important to remember the Constitution forms a foundation and a set of guiding principles for the US government, but leaves most of the details to Congress and the President (the Supreme Court doesn't play a direct legislative role in government).

Why is the supreme court called the court of last resort?
The term "court of last resort" generally refers to the Supreme Court (in the USA) or the highest court in the land (in other countries). This nickname applies because you cannot appeal any higher than the Supreme Court. It's literally your last resort - your last option for having the outcome of your case changed. If the Supreme Court turns down your appeal or decides against you, there is no higher court to which you can appeal.
