Why do you think federal courts rule disputes between the states?

Asked by kaylab5892

Answer (2)

Federal courts rule disputes between states because they have been granted this power by the American Constitution. The federal courts have been given the ability and the responsibility to rule on disputes among the states where a higher court is necessary to make a ruling.

Federal courts rule on disputes between states based on the authority provided by the U.S. Constitution, which allows for impartial resolution of conflicts. This mechanism preserves federalism and ensures that states respect each other’s laws and rights. By interpreting laws and ensuring constitutional compliance, federal courts maintain order and fairness in the legal system.
