Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution provides that "[t]he judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish."
Under this section and the Judiciary Act of 1789, the United States Supreme Court was created. The Act organized the Supreme Court, the federal circuit courts and the federal district courts, established the Office of the Attorney General, and reserved the president's right to nominate justices for appointment to the United States Supreme Court with the advice and consent of the Senate.
When the Supreme Court was unveiled on February 2, 1790, six justices shared the bench. One justice was appointed as the Chief Justice and held additional administrative duties related both to the Supreme Court and to the entire federal court system. The other five were associate justices. At its creation, the judicial branch was by far the weakest and most timid of all three government branches, holding back from strongly upholding and deciding controversial issues. However, in 1801, Chief Justice John Marshall joined the Supreme Court and boldly asserted the judicial branch's authority and judicial rights

The U.S. Constitution established the Supreme Court in Article Three of the Constitution which was signed on September 17, 1787. The Constitution was later ratified in 1788 and went into force in 1789. In 1789 the First Congress passed the Federal Judiciary Act to fund the Supreme Court and the inferior courts also mentioned in Article Three.
