Answer:

Article III of the Constitution of the United States creates the Judicial Power of the federal government of that country. The Judicial Branch is formed by the Supreme Court of the United States and the federal courts of lower rank legally established by Congress.

The second section specifies the jurisdiction of the federal courts and stipulates that trials be jury in all criminal cases, except in cases of impeachment.

Federal courts are courts of limited jurisdiction and not of general jurisdiction. This means that courts with limited jurisdiction can only judge those cases in which they have jurisdiction.

More presumably article 3, second section, clause 1

"one. The Judiciary will understand in all disputes, both written law and equity, that arise as a result of this Constitution, the laws of the United States and the treaties concluded or that are held under its authority; in all disputes that relate to ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls; in all disputes of the Admiralty and Maritime jurisdiction; in disputes to which the United States is a party; in disputes between two or more States, between one State and the citizens of another, between citizens of different States, between citizens of the same State claiming land under concessions of different States and between a State or its citizens and States , citizens or foreign subjects.

This dispute can be solved addressing the Article 3, Section 2, Clause 1, which states the following:

"The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority;--to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls;--to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction;--to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party;--to Controversies between two or more States;--between a State and Citizens of another State;--between Citizens of different States;--between Citizens of the same State claiming Lands under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects."

It addresses the problem by defining who will preside the dispute and establish where the involved parties must file their cases. With this being settled, the resolution to the dispute falls into Judicial Power.
