The answer is " State courts deal with issues of state law and federal courts deal with issues granted to them by the U. S. Constitution."

Explanation:

In the USA state courts have jurisdiction over disputes that have a connection with a state's laws. They usually deal with common laws. They apply laws existing or approved in a state or that are according to the state's constitution. The federal courts can only take cases defined in the Constitution of the USA or by federal statutes. The definite level a case may reach is the Supreme Court which is a federal court.
