Judicial Powers of the US Supreme Court

Question: What are the judicial powers of the US Supreme Court and where does this power come from (specific documents)?

Members who are part of the Judicial Branch are appointed by the President of the United States of America, but they are confirmed by the Senate. They don't have specific requirements to be part of the branch, but it is obvious some of the key things such as experience, the Senate looks for. In Article III of the Constitution, clearly establishes the Judicial Branch and states that Congress has the power to structure and shape of the federal judiciary. Congress can also authorize courts to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is the only federal judiciary that is required by the Constitution and the highest court of the country. In Article III of the Constitution, confirms that any US citizen accused of wrongdoing has the right to a fair trial before the judge and jury's decision. Just as the Constitution confirms that any person can go to trial the fourth, fifth, and sixth amendment adds additional protection such as the protection against being tried of the same crime, the right to avoid self-incrimination,etc to the person accused of wrongdoing. The Judicial Powers of the United States Supreme Court are specified in Article III, section 2, of the Constitution. Those judicial powers include controversies between two or more states, controversies between citizens of different states, controversies between a state, or citizens, or foreign states or citizens, controversies between citizens of the same states claiming lands under grants in different states, controversies between a state and citizens of another state, which is later modified by the eleventh amendment, cases affecting ambassadors or other public ministers, hearing cases involving US as a party, make treaties, and include all cases of admiralty or maritime jurisdiction, which is they can charge criminals with a sentence.
