How did the court ruling in mc cullouch v Maryland strengthen the federal government?

Answer 1

The decision in McCulloch v Maryland, (1819) increased federalism by invoking "implied powers" and established a hierarchical dominance of the federal government over the states. This created a precedent that could be used to decide other cases in which federal and state interests conflicted.

Explanation

Marshall concluded 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, which elevates federal law above state law when the two are in conflict (and do not involve a right reserved to the state) protected the bank from being taxed by the State(s).

Answer 2

As a Federalist, Marshall exerted great influence over the other members of the Court to support federal supremacy over state sovereignty. The Supreme Court's decision in McCulloch v. Maryland, (1819) and other cases prevented the states from subordinating the federal government to state laws.

Some of these cases rested on the implied powers of Congress, rather than the enumerated powers; others rested on interpretation of enumerated powers, such as the Interstate Commerce Clause and its application.

In these cases, the Supreme Court's decisions set a precedent allowing the Legislative Branch to exercise "implied powers," in addition to the expressed powers listed in Article I of the Constitution. Chief Justice John Marshall's opinions transferred some of the authority traditionally held by the states to the Federal government, shifting the balance of power more toward the national government.
