McCulloch v. Maryland (1819)
None. The US Supreme Court declared Congress had the constitutional authority to establish a national bank to handle the United States financial transactions under the Necessary and Proper Clause in McCulloch v. Maryland, 17 U.S. 316 (1819).In other words, the Supreme Court declared the national bank constitutional, not unconstitutional.
The case was initially filed in the County Court of Baltimore, Maryland.Case Citation:McCulloch v. Maryland, 17 US 316 (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.
