Other than the shortcoming the Supreme Court identified in McCulloch v. Maryland, I don’t see that the Judiciary Act of 1789 was unconstitutional. That’s unsurprising, as its chief authors — Senators Paterson (NJ) and Ellsworth (CT) — had been the chief authors of Article III in the Philadelphia Convention.
