How did “The Midnight Judges” change the judicial branch of the government?

In the final days of his presidency, John Adams signed the Judiciary Act of 1801, which reorganized the federal courts and created additional circuit court judgeships. These appointments became known as the “Midnight Judges.” The act did not increase the number of Supreme Court justices or replace the Supreme Court, so the correct choice is “It created a system of circuit court judges across the country.”
