  2. Main Idea of the Article • Congress Determines Judges • There shall be a supreme court • Separation of Powers and restrictions on Judicial Branch • Power to appeal • Must have trial by jury • Treason

  3. Section 1 • Congress determines judges • States that if the workers do the work, they will be compensated for it • States that “…the Judicial powers of the United States will be vested in one supreme Court” • Judges salaries shall not be lowered during their continuance in office

  4. Section 2 • Gives the judges direct/original jurisdiction • States what cases the courts will hear • Gives anyone convicted of a crime the ability to appeal to the supreme court if they feel their trial was unfair • States that “The Trial of all crimes, except in Cases of Impeachment, shall be by jury”

  5. Section 3 • Declares the definition of treason against the United States of America • This section has nothing to do with the Judicial Branch yet is still included in section 3 • “The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of treason shall work Corruption of Blood..” • Corruption of Blood means that relatives of the person whom committed treason is not allowed to be convicted

  6. Most Important Section/clause • Section 2 • Shows the separation and restrictions of power given to the Judicial Branch • States what each court will hear during its trials • Gives each case the power to appeal to the supreme court • States that all trials will be by jury • This section impacted the people of the United States the most, therefore making it the most important

  7. Constitutional Principles • There is no maximum number of courts, it is only specified that there be at least one • The one required court is the supreme federal court • Justices of both federal and inferior courts can only hold office while they behave how Congress wants them to • Courts will hear all cases, but the Supreme Court will only hear cases that pertain to issues with the constitution and those the justices choose • Only cases involving states or public officials will have original jurisdiction, all other cases must be appealed up from lower courts • Trials must be held with a jury present, and the trial must be held in the state the crime was committed • Congress will decide the punishment of those who commit treason • Nobody can be convicted of treason without witnesses or confession
