Question 5 • *FL-2100310-United States History Semester 1

What was part of the Supreme Court’s ruling in McCulloch v. Maryland?

Answer
A
State governments are supreme over the federal government.
B
Congress can establish a national bank.
C
The Supreme Court has the power of judicial review.

Explanation

The Court ruled that Congress had the implied power to establish a national bank, even though the Constitution does not explicitly mention one. It also held that Maryland could not tax the federal bank because federal law is supreme over conflicting state action. Therefore, “Congress can establish a national bank” is correct; judicial review was established in Marbury v. Madison.
