Answer:
Judiciary Act 1801
Step-by-step explanation:
The judiciary act of 1801 which was overturned by the Jeffersonian republicans were part of the politically-motivated attempt made by the federalists in the U.S congress and the administration of John Adams to fill the federal courts with federalists. Federal courts were used as political means to persecute those who criticized the actions of the federalists and a strong political opposition came into place by Thomas Jefferson, and his team helped in passing the Federal Judiciary act of 1801.
The number of Supreme Court judges was reduced from six to five by the act and the act also created six new federal circuit courts in different region of the United States of America.
