The federal court system is more powerful than the state court system(s) for cases under federal or concurrent (shared) jurisdiction, as established by the US Constitution. The state court system has more power over issues involving municipal and state laws and the state constitution, provided they are not in conflict with the US Constitution. Congress had no independent authority to alter constitutional mandates, so the Judiciary Act of 1789 had no impact on this issue.
