The Judiciary Act of 1789 created a the beginning of the three-tiered Federal Court system and established the US Supreme Court as head of the Judicial branch of government. Not only did this add a new layer to the judiciary that needed to be integrated with the thirteen existing state court systems, it also allowed the federal government to institute a rule of law based on the US Constitution, in place of one based on British common law. The Constitution implemented new ideas and laws that deliberately diverged from conventional British practices the Colonists found oppressive. Some of the Founding Fathers opposed the existence of a federal judiciary because they feared the courts would allow the federal government to become tyrannical, abrogating state powers and individual liberties. The Bill of Rights was intended to address some of these concerns by specifying citizens' rights relative to law, and by assigning to the states any authority not explicitly given to the three branches of the US government. The Judiciary Act of 1789 had to ensure the legal interests of the state and central governments were balanced. The legislation was remarkable in terms of its complexity, and the compromise it afforded competing interests of the Federalist and anti-Federalist (states' rights) parties.
