United States -- History
SECTION I.
The judicial power of the United States shall be vested in one supreme
court, and in such inferior courts as the congress may, from time to
time, ordain and establish. The judges, both of the supreme and
inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behaviour, and
shall, at stated times, receive for their services a compensation
which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office.
SECTION II.
I. The judicial power shall extend to all cases, in law and equity,
arising under this constitution, the laws of the United States, and
treaties made, or which shall be made, under their authority; to all
cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls; to
all cases of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction; to controversies to
which the United States shall be a party; to controversies between two
or more states, between a state and citizens of another state, between
citizens of different states, between citizens of the same state
claiming lands under grants of different states, and between a state,
or the citizens thereof, and foreign states, citizens, or subjects.
II. In all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers, and
consuls, and those in which a state shall be a party, the supreme
court shall have original jurisdiction. In all other cases before
mentioned, the supreme court shall have appellate jurisdiction, both
as to law and fact, with such exceptions, and under such regulations,
as the congress shall make.
III. The trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be
by jury; and such trials shall be held in the state where the said
crime shall have been committed; but when not committed within any
state, the trial shall be at such a place or places as the congress
may, by law, have directed.
SECTION III.
I. Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war
against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and
comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason, unless on the
testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in
open court.
II. The congress shall have power to declare the punishment of
treason; but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood,
or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted.
ARTICLE IV.
SECTION I.
Full faith and credit shall be given in each state to the public acts,
records, and judicial proceedings of every other state. And the
congress may, by general laws, prescribe the manner in which such
acts, records, and proceedings shall be proved, and the effect
thereof.
SECTION II.
I. The citizens of each state shall be entitled to all the privileges
and immunities of citizens in the several states.
