Identify two provisions that the Constitution makes regarding the federal courts and their jurisdiction.

There are currently three levels in the federal court system, the district courts, court of appeals, and the Supreme Court of the United States.  At the highest level the provisions of the Supreme Court are:

1- original jurisdiction- those cases against ambassadors or disputes between two or more states

2- appellate jurisdiction- cases dealing with federal law from lower courts or those from the individual state Supreme Courts. For example, something sought as unconstitutional or that an act of Congress that has been denied.
