meanors.

ARTICLE III.

SECTION 1. The judicial Power of the United States, shall be
vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Con-
gress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both
of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good
Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services a
Compensation which shall not be diminished during their Continu-
ance in Office.

SECTION 2. The judicial Power shall 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 Author-
ity;—to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and
Consuls ;—to all Cases of admiralty and Maritime Jurisdiction ;—to
Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party;—to Con-
troversies between two or more States ;—between a State and Citizens of
another State;—between Citizens of different States,—between Citizens
of the same State claiming Lands under Grants of different States,
and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citi-
zens or Subjects.

In all cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and
Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court
shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before men-
tioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to
Law and Eact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as
the Congress shall make.

The Trial of all Crimes, except in cases of Impeachment, shall be by
Jury; and such Trial shall be had in the State where the said Crimes
shall have been committed; but when not committed within any State,
the Trial shall be at such Place or Places as the Congress may by Law
have directed.

SECTION 3. Treason against the United States, shall consist only
in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving
them Aid and Comfort. No person shall be convicted of Treason unless
on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Con-
fession in open Court.

The Congress shall have power to declare the Punishment of Trea-
son, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or
Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.
