The Judiciary Act of 1789 established all of the following except that the Supreme Court would (Points : 1)
have one Chief Justice.
have five associate justices.
sit in two sessions each year.
determine how many federal districts there would be.
determine how many federal districts there would be.
I disagree.
To determine which of the options is incorrect, we need to understand the purpose and provisions of the Judiciary Act of 1789. The Judiciary Act of 1789 was a landmark legislation passed by the first Congress of the United States. It established the federal judiciary system and outlined the structure and jurisdiction of the federal courts.
Let's examine each option:
1) Have one Chief Justice: The Judiciary Act of 1789 did indeed establish that the Supreme Court would have one Chief Justice. This is a correct provision.
2) Have five associate justices: The Judiciary Act of 1789 also established that the Supreme Court would have five associate justices. This is another correct provision.
3) Sit in two sessions each year: The Judiciary Act of 1789 did not specify the number of sessions the Supreme Court would have each year. It tasked the court with meeting annually but did not mention a specific number of sessions. This option is potentially incorrect.
4) Determine how many federal districts there would be: The Judiciary Act of 1789 did not grant the Supreme Court the authority to determine the number of federal districts. The act designated thirteen district courts, and their boundaries were based on the various states' jurisdiction. This option is potentially correct.
Based on our analysis, it appears that the correct answer is that the Judiciary Act of 1789 did not establish that the Supreme Court would "sit in two sessions each year." To verify our answer, we can consult the text of the Judiciary Act of 1789 or refer to historical sources.
