Answer:

Established that each state would have at least one federal district court.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Judiciary Act of 1789, created by Congress, established that each state would have at least one federal district court. The act organized the states into several "circuits" as well, with at least one appellate court for each circuit. The U.S. Supreme Court is the highest court authority in the nation. Decisions of this court are final, meaning that people who lose their cases here have nowhere to make an appeal. For this reason, we call the Supreme Court "the court of last resort."
