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

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

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

Explanation

In McCulloch v. Maryland (1819), the Supreme Court held that Congress could create a national bank as a means of carrying out its constitutional responsibilities. The Necessary and Proper Clause gives Congress implied powers beyond those explicitly listed in the Constitution, so the ruling rejected the claim that Congress has only express powers.
