That is the 10th Amendment, which states:

"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

In the US the national government derives its power from?

In the United States, the national government derives its power from the Constitution, which establishes the framework for federal authority and governance. Specifically, the Constitution's Supremacy Clause asserts that federal law takes precedence over state laws. Additionally, the government's powers are further defined by the enumerated powers listed in Article I, Section 8, as well as the implied powers that allow for necessary and proper legislation. Ultimately, the authority of the national government is rooted in the consent of the governed, reflecting the democratic principles of the nation.


What was the constitutional basis for the ruling in McCulloch v Maryland that states can't tax the federal government?

The Supreme Court determined Congress had the right to establish a (federal) National Bank under the principle of implied powers. (also called unenumerated powers) Specifically, Chief Justice Marshall held the Taxing and Spending Clause (Article I, Section 8, Clause 1) and Necessary and Proper Clause(Article I, Section 8, Clause 18), allowed Congress to charter a national bank as an appropriate action supporting legitimate federal interests:"To make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this Constitution in the government of the United States, or in any department or officer thereof."In the opinion of the Court, Marshall concluded that Congress had the right to establish a national bank as an implied power under the Necessary and Proper Clause because the bank was being used to further Congress' constitutional authority to tax and distribute funds. Unlike the Articles of Confederation, which preceded the US Constitution, the Constitution does not prohibit the exercise of implied powers necessary to assist in carrying out constitutional mandates.The Court also held that the Supremacy Clause (Article VI, Clause 2), which elevates federal law above state law when the two are in conflict (and do not involve a right explicitly reserved to the states) protected the bank from being taxed by the State(s).Case Citation:McCulloch v. Maryland, 17 US 316 (1819)
