Answer:

George Washington and the first Congress.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first federal court system was created after George Washington signed the Judiciary act of 1789 during his presidency.

The act established the supreme court as the highest holder of judicial power In United States. The act created several lower courts to handle all law proceedings, but all of those lower courts have to follow the guidance made by the supreme court.
