The chief justice, at the apex of the judiciary system, is one of the most powerful people in the country. Yet despite this pivotal role in society, the Supreme Court and the lower courts are the least-known branch of the federal government.
Article 1 of the United States Constitution grants Congress its powers. It is primarily intended to be a legislative body of a three-branch system that shares equal power. Congress is the only branch of government that can make or change laws. The executive branch of the government is led by the President, while the Supreme Court is at the top of the judicial branch of government. To form a system of checks and balances, it is necessary for Congress to have some non-legislative powers. These powers help the government organize in the event that one branch attempts to exercise too much influence over the others.
