The United States system of government, as established by the U.S Constitution, consists of three branches, all of which have an equal amount of power. These branches are the Executive, the Legislative and the Judicial. For the Legislative branch, we have Congress as the highest level of power, whle in the Judicial Branch, we have the Supreme Court. However, throughout time, Congress realized that the Supreme Court was not enough to oversee the innumerable amount of cases that reached it every single day from various parts of the country. And so, as a power given to them through the Constitution, Congress established what is known as the inferior courts, or special courts, who aid the Supreme Court in cases that do not need to reach the most powerful organ of the judicial system. These courts can be divided into two: the constitutional, or regular, courts and the special courts. The creation of these courts by Congress, as an example, shows the interrelationship that exists between the three branches of government, but mostly, the way that each of them work to support the actions of the other, without overstepping their boundaries and their powers.
