Answer: True.

Step-by-step explanation:

The US constitution has involved details related to the Supreme Court; in fact, the US constitution created this institution. However, the structure does not specify how many judges will sit in the supreme court. Those details were left to the US Congress. In 1807, Congress increased the number of judges to seven; In 1837 the number increased to nine, and in 1863 it rose to 10.
