Question

Which of the following was NOT a part of the Judiciary Act of 1789, as initially written?

(a) The creation of a Supreme Court
(b) The creation of lower federal courts
(c) The establishment of judicial review
(d) The creation of a Council of Revision

Answer 1

The Judiciary Act of 1789 did not initially include the establishment of judicial review, which was later defined by the Marbury v. Madison case in 1803.

Step-by-step explanation:

The part of the Judiciary Act of 1789 that was NOT initially written into the law was (c) The establishment of judicial review. While the Judiciary Act did create the Supreme Court and lower federal courts, it did not explicitly establish the concept of judicial review. This principle, which allows courts to determine the constitutionality of legislative and executive actions, was later established by the landmark Supreme Court case Marbury v. Madison in 1803. Moreover, the option (d) The creation of a Council of Revision, did not emanate from any acts related to the judiciary during that period.
