Which article vests the federal government’s judicial power in the Supreme Court?

The correct answer is B. Article 3 of the U.S. Constitution specifically establishes the judicial branch of the federal government. This article outlines the structure, jurisdiction, and authority of the Supreme Court and other inferior courts that Congress may establish. It vests the judicial power of the United States in the Supreme Court, ensuring that this body has the authority to interpret laws, adjudicate disputes, and uphold the Constitution.

In contrast, Article 1 focuses on the legislative branch, detailing the powers and structure of Congress. Article 4 deals primarily with the relationships and responsibilities among the states and the federal government. Article 6 includes provisions related to the supremacy of federal law and the obligations of public officials. Thus, it is specifically Article 3 that defines the role of the judiciary and firmly establishes the importance of the Supreme Court in the federal government’s system of checks and balances.
