The Congress was also given in Article I, Section 8 the power "to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers" (Martin and Roberts 1989, A6).

Article III defines the judicial power of the Supreme Court and other courts established by the Congress and accords to the Supreme Court powers that 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" (Martin and Roberts 1989, A8)
