Explanation

In McCulloch v. Maryland, the Supreme Court considered whether Congress could create a national bank even though the Constitution does not explicitly grant that power. The Court also decided whether Maryland could tax the bank, addressing whether state governments could interfere with the federal government’s authority. Thus, the case involved the supremacy of federal government and Congress’s implied powers—not state regulation of commerce or which branch reviews laws.
