exif: {"Image DocumentName": "Judiciary Act of 1789: The Constitution created the U. S", "Image ImageDescription": "Judiciary Act of 1789: The Constitution created the U.S. Supreme Court, but not lower courts. It left that up to Congress. One of the first pieces of legislation passed by Congress, thus, was the Judiciary Act. It created lower federal courts: the District Courts and Circuit Courts (Appeals Courts). It also gave the courts certain powers not expressly granted under the Constitution. That came back to haunt the Act in the 1803 case of Marbury v. Madison. Tariff Act of 1789: The Constitution gave the new federal government power to tax. This is the first tax imposed by Congress. This is a revenue tariff designed to raise money for the government\u2019s use (particularly to pay off debt). It imposed a 5-to-15 percent tax on all imports. The tariff hurt consumers because it raised prices. Southern exporters opposed the tax because foreign nations often retaliated, imposing high tariffs on the things southerners exported. More troubling still for exporters, tariff rates rose during the 1790s, making the tax closer to a protective tariff.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
