The Constitution required Congress to establish a Supreme Court and whatever "inferior" courts it deemed necessary, but did not actually create the federal court system, as the structure and function of most courts was left to Congress' discretion.

Congress established the Judicial Branch of government (what some consider the entire federal court system) in the Judiciary Act of 1789, under the authority of Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution.

The court system has grown and adapted to the United States' changing needs over time.
