US Federal Court System and Civil Liberties

Structure of the Federal Court System

The Constitution establishes the Supreme Court but doesn’t mention other federal courts. Congress has the power to create courts and determine their structure, hierarchy, number of judges, and salaries (Judiciary Act of 1789). Federal courts are separate from state courts.

Reflections on Travel, Future, Wealth, and Love

Travel Experiences

Naco’s Perspective

I prefer to travel with someone who makes me feel happy or safe. It’s not fun to travel with somebody that does not seem to be present. In that case, I’d rather travel alone.
