I think you mean "where" not "why". From the 3rd Article of the Constitution. The Constitution only establishes the U.S. Supreme Court, but it gives the Congress the power to establish lessor federal courts. TheJudiciary Act of 1789 setup the lessor courts and has been amended many times since 1789.

It is true that the United States Constitution only explicitly and specifically establishes the Supreme Court of the United States. However, it also specifies that the Congress should create lower federal courts, which Congress did with the Judiciary Act of 1789, and as amended. There are also "Article I courts", created by the Congress, that are technically part of the federal executive branch and not part of the federal judicial branch.
