Summary
The outline correctly captures the general structure of Articles I‑VII, including the division of powers and the main subjects of each section. However, several details are misstated—such as the specifics of Article I Section 6’s impeachment‑related protections, the exact content of Article II Section 4, and the precise language of Article III Section 1 regarding judicial tenure.

Furthermore, it was contended that cases did not arise under the Constitution unless they were brought in the first instance by someone claiming such a right, from which it followed that the judicial power of the United States did not extend to such cases unless they were brought in the first instance in the courts of the United States. But Chief Justice Marshall rejected this narrow interpretation: A case in law or equity consists of the right of the one party, as well as of the other, and may truly be said to arise under the Constitution or a law of the United States, whenever its correct decision depends upon the construction of either.7Footnote 19 U.S.
