Answer:

Subject matter jurisdiction and federal question jurisdiction.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Subject-matter jurisdiction represents the court authorisation to discuss some subjects that are related to a certain thing, while the federal jurisdiction is the authorisation of all of the courts of USA that are related to a litigation. It is the law volume of the government.

Subject-matter jurisdiction can never give up the authority. Federal jurisdiction is limited to an area out of legislative power. The questions that federal court can discuss are applications of the articles of the constitution.

2. These principles are broad enough as they are respecting federal principles and give clear guidelines on dual system jurisdiction.
