The Act of 1801, also known as the Judiciary Act of 1801, was passed by the 6th United States Congress, which was controlled by the Federalist Party. Key figures involved in its passage included then-Speaker of the House Frederick Muhlenberg and Congressman John Marshall, who later became Chief Justice. The act created new judicial positions, which were filled by Federalists, and aimed to reorganize the federal judiciary. It was signed into law by President John Adams.
