How is a case determined to be a justiciable dispute and therefore eligible to be heard by a federal judge?

Answer:

An ideal response will:
1. Discuss how the federal judiciary is a passive and reactive branch. It does not instigate cases or conduct its own investigations, nor can it resolve every issue that comes before it.
2. Explain that, according to the Constitution, federal judges are to decide cases and controversies. It is not enough that a judge believes a particular law to be unconstitutional; a real case must be litigated for a judge to reach that decision
