In ''Hayburn's Case'', 2 U.S. 409, 2 Dall. 409, 1 L. Ed. 436 (1792), the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] held that it lacked power to issue an advisory opinion, because federal-court jurisdiction was limited by [[Article III]] of the [[U.S. Constitution]] to actual "Cases" and "Controversies."

Later the Court affirmed that those two words confine "the business of federal courts to questions presented in an adversary context and in a form historically viewed as capable of resolution through the judicial process." Flast v. Cohen, 392 U.S. 83, 95, 88 S. Ct. 1942, 20 L. Ed. 2d 947 (1968).
