Article III, ยง 1 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 2. 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.
In all cases affecting ambassadors, other public
ministers and consuls, and those in which a state shall be party, the Supreme Court shall
have original jurisdiction. In all the 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.
The trial of all crimes, except in cases of
impeachment, shall be by jury; and such trial shall be held in the state where the said
crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed within any state, the trial shall
be at such place or places as the Congress may by law have directed.
Section 3. 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.
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.
