In the United States, the Supreme Court is vested with the power to settle disputes. The Supreme Court was established in Article III of the U.S. Constitution.
The United States Constitution, Article 3, Sections 2 states that the Supreme Court has the ". . . judicial power shall extend to all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States, and treaties made, or which shall be made, under their authority;--to all cases affecting . . . to controversies to which the United States shall be a party;--to controversies between two or more states;--between a state and citizens of another state;--between citizens of different states;--between citizens of the same state claiming lands under grants of different states, and between a state, or the citizens thereof, and foreign states, citizens or subjects."Therefore, the Supreme Court has the power to settle disputes involving the United States.
The U.S. Constitution established the federal judiciary, including the Supreme Court, to settle disputes between states. This system provides a legal framework for resolving conflicts, ensuring that cases involving state disputes are adjudicated fairly and uniformly. Additionally, the Constitution grants Congress the authority to create lower courts to assist in this function. Overall, these judicial bodies help maintain order and uphold the rule of law among the states.
The government faced difficulties in settling disputes between states or between citizens of different states primarily due to the lack of a strong central authority under the Articles of Confederation, which limited its ability to enforce laws and adjudicate conflicts. Additionally, each state had its own laws and interests, leading to varying interpretations and biases in disputes. The absence of a federal judiciary further complicated matters, as there was no neutral body to resolve conflicts effectively. These factors contributed to a fragmented legal landscape that hindered effective dispute resolution.
