SCOTUS: The History
Being the highest federal court in the country, the Supreme Court has nine justices that make it up. SCOTUS originally assembled in February of 1790, which I personally never knew. This was made possible by Article Three of the U.S. Constitution. The SCOTUS's first case was West v. Barnes, case on a financial dispute. The job of the Supreme Court is to get an official look into the rules and regulations that have been presented from the executive and legislative branches of Congress. The SCOTUS was originally made up of Chief Justice John Jay and Associate Justices John Rutledge, William Cushing, John Blair, Robert Harrison, and James Wilson.
