Answer to Question 2

Colonial American courts initially were overseen by governors who were appointed by the king of England. Justice of the peace courts were the main court and the justices were generally pillars in the community and weren't trained in law. This legal authority of being tied to England began to crumble as the United States began to grow and seek separation from England.
After the American Revolution, the development of early state courts formed. State governors appointed justices and county courts appointed sheriffs, county attorneys, clerks, and jailers. State constitutions and individualized state needs led to the further development of state court systems.
The Civil War, industrialization, and increases in population led to a surge in caseloads, and further developed state courts.
