ANSWER:

The "Judiciary Act of 1789" established the "federal judiciary" of the United States of America.

Step-by-step explanation:

The act was signed into a law by the then President of United States, George Washington. With the article becoming a law, the Supreme Court was established.

However, the power to establish lower federal courts rested with the Congress. The act also laid down the "formal structure and jurisdiction" of the federal court system. It created the attorney general position.
