The federal court can decide cases on what basis?

The bases of federal subject matter jurisdiction are set forth in the United States Code, Title 28, sections 1331 and 1332. Generally, they are:





1. Diversity of citizenship between the parties; and


2. Cases arising under federal laws.





See also, US Constitution, Article III, section 2.
