... Article III , section 2 of the Constitution defines the categories of federal jurisdiction in terms of cases and controversies .

...second sense of justiciability—whether an issue is considered to be appropriate and fit for judicial determination—the issue may be non-justiciable because it is thought to be peculiarly political and better fitted for determination by the non-judicial agencies of government. Alternatively, it might be thought that the consequences of legal invalidity would produce an unacceptable degree of uncertainty about the existence of constitutional authority in a community. Whatever the precise reason, the issues posed by the notion of justiciability highlight the need...

Haworth , 1937 ). In the Aetna case Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes discussed the differences between justiciable questions or issues and those not justiciable.
