McCulloch v. Maryland (1819) tested the constitutional power of Congress to establish a national bank under the Necessary and Proper Clause, as well as the limits of state power to tax federal institutions. The Supreme Court ruled that Congress had the authority to create the bank, asserting that federal law takes precedence over state law. This landmark decision reinforced the principle of federal supremacy and expanded the interpretation of implied powers granted to Congress.
What Constitutional power did McCulloch v. Maryland in 1819 test?
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.
