Marbury v. McCulloch is a confused mixture of two different cases heard by the US Supreme Court under Chief Justice John Marshall.One case is Marbury v. Madison, (1803), and the other is McCulloch v. Maryland, (1819).
In McCulloch v. Maryland (1819) the Supreme Court ruled that Congress had implied powers under the Necessary and Proper Clause of Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution to create the Second Bank of the United States and that the state of Maryland lacked the power to tax the Bank.Arguably Chief Justice John Marshall's finest opinion, McCulloch not only gave Congress broad discretionary power to implement the enumerated powers, but also repudiated, in ringing language, the radical states' rights arguments presented by counsel for Maryland.
This case allowed for a broad interpretation of the powers of the federal government.
