The Supreme Court case that increased national power through a broad interpretation of the Necessary and Proper Clause is McCulloch v. Maryland (1819). In this landmark decision, the Court ruled that Congress had the authority to create a national bank, affirming that implied powers could be derived from its enumerated powers. This ruling established a precedent for a more expansive interpretation of federal authority, thereby enhancing the power of the national government over the states.


How did federalism empower congress under the constitution?

Federalism empowered Congress under the Constitution by establishing a system of shared powers between the national and state governments. This framework allowed Congress to legislate on a wide range of issues that affected the entire nation, such as commerce, defense, and immigration, while also enabling states to retain authority over local matters. Additionally, the Supremacy Clause ensured that federal laws could take precedence over conflicting state laws, reinforcing Congressional authority. Overall, federalism created a balance that strengthened the legislative power of Congress within the federal system.
