Answer:

the first Justices complained of the Court's limited stature; they were also concerned about the burdens of “riding circuit” under primitive travel

Step-by-step explanation:

First among the Justices' complaints was a mandate of the Judiciary Act of 1789 to travel a circuit to attend the circuit courts. This proved wearisome to the Justices due to the poor roads, poor lodging, and distances involved.
