Answer to Question 1

Answer to Question 2

The Preconstitutional Era used the Articles of Confederation as a governing socument. This was followed by the development of the Virginia Plan and New Jersey Plan in response to key issues that were missing in the Articles of Confederation.

The Postconstitutional Era addressed the concept and development of the Supreme Court and created a judiciary that was independent from the other branches of government.

Article III states federal judges are appointed for life and salaries cannot be reduced by the president or Congress. Federal judiciary can be expanded through legislature and Congress must approve.

The Judiciary Act of 1789 established the organization of the federal courts and the Judiciary Act of 1891 divided the U.S. into 13 judicial circuits.
