Question 3 • DRHS GA-GSE US History A

Which other case was directly influenced by the Supreme Court’s ruling in McCulloch v. Maryland?

Answer
A
Marbury v. Madison, which it overturned
B
Marbury v. Madison, which relied on precedent
C
Gibbons v. Ogden, which it overturned
D
Gibbons v. Ogden, which relied on precedent

Explanation

McCulloch v. Maryland (1819) established broad federal power under the Necessary and Proper Clause and affirmed federal supremacy over conflicting state laws. Gibbons v. Ogden (1824) relied on that precedent when it upheld Congress’s authority to regulate interstate commerce. It did not overturn McCulloch; the correct choice is Gibbons v. Ogden, which relied on precedent.
