§ D.  WHO SETS UP THE FEDERAL SYSTEM?

Article III of the Constitution calls for a Supreme Court and whatever other federal courts Congress thinks are necessary.  Congress creates the district courts and the courts of appeals, sets the number of judges in each federal court (including the Supreme Court), and determines what kinds of cases they will hear.
