The essay focuses on explaining the breadth of jurisdiction between the state and Supreme Courts.[1] Hamilton repeatedly assures his readers that state courts will not lose any pre-constitutional authority except on specific appeals.[1] He also defends the section of the constitution that gives the Supreme Court automatic jurisdiction over cases where a state is an involved party.[1]
