State Courts vs. Federal Courts

“You must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself.” James Madison, Federalist No. 51, 1788

The framers of the U.S. Constitution wanted the federal government to have only limited power.  Therefore, they limited the kinds of cases federal courts can decide.  Most laws that affect us are passed by state governments, and thus state courts handle most disputes that govern our daily lives.

Federal courts also serve an important role.  They defend many of our most basic rights, such as freedom of speech and equal protection under the law.

This is the fundamental idea behind Federalism, which means a government in which power is divided between one national government and other, smaller state or regional governments.

 

Dual Court System

Jurisdiction of the Courts:  State vs. Federal

State Courts

General Jurisdiction

State courts are courts of "general jurisdiction". They hear all the cases not specifically selected for federal courts. Just as the federal courts interpret federal laws, state courts interpret state laws. Each state gets to make and interpret its own laws. This helps the states retain power, and makes sure that the national government does not become too strong.

Types of Cases

Federal Courts

Limited Jurisdiction

As the framers wrote the Constitution, some feared that the federal courts might threaten the independence of the states and the people. To combat this fear the framers set up a federal court system that can only hear cases in special circumstances. We call this having“limited jurisdiction.” Since the federal courts can only hear certain kinds of cases, most of the day-to-day cases that courts deal with happen in state courts.

Basically, federal courts hear only 2 types of cases; those that raise a "federal question" and those involving “diversity of citizenship".
