a. it established the federal judicial system by empowering the supreme court.
b. it diverted power away from the supreme court towards the states.
c. it established the checks congress may have over the judicial branch.
d. it established the federal judicial system by made up of district and circuit courts and outlined what kind of cases these courts may try.

Explanation:

The Judiciary Act of 1789 established the federal judicial system, creating district and circuit courts and defining their jurisdiction. Option A is incorrect as it misrepresents the act's focus on structuring lower courts, not just empowering the Supreme Court. Option B is wrong as the act strengthened federal judiciary, not diverted power to states. Option C is incorrect as the act's main focus was on the judicial system's structure, not Congress's checks. Option D accurately describes the act's role in creating the federal court system with district and circuit courts and outlining their case types.

Answer:

D. It established the federal judicial system by made up of district and circuit courts and outlined what kind of cases these courts may try.
