Federal Question Definition
A federal question is a type of federal court subject matter jurisdiction. Federal questions include legal issues that arise under the U.S. Constitution, federal statutes, and treaties of the United States. When a federal question is present, the case can be filed in or appealed to a federal court.
For example, a case that raises an issue under the 14th Amendment equal protection clause involves a federal question, so the case could be filed in federal court.
