Question 8 • Virginia and US History

In McCulloch v. Maryland , the Supreme Court ruled that Congress

Answer
A
has no implied powers.
B
has only express powers.
C
can establish a national bank.
D
can establish state banks.

Explanation

The Court held that Congress has implied powers in addition to the powers explicitly listed in the Constitution. Because creating a national bank was a reasonable way to carry out Congress’s constitutional responsibilities, Congress could establish one. Therefore, the correct choice is “can establish a national bank.”
