Publius, the name under which all ''The Federalist'' papers were published. Its title is "The Judiciary Continued", and it is the fifth in a series of six essays discussing the powers and limitations of the judicial branch of government. The essay focuses on explaining the breadth of jurisdiction between the state and Supreme Courts.
