Both gave the federal government more power by expanding its authority in individual state's economic activities. McCulloch v Maryland gave the federal bank power over states, and Gibbons v Ogden gave Congress power to regulate interstate commerce.

Gibbons v Ogden

Congress. Marshall'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.
The cases of Gibbons v. Ogden (1824) and McCulloch v. Maryland (1819) are significant as they established key principles regarding federal power and states' rights. Gibbons v. Ogden affirmed the federal government's authority to regulate interstate commerce, reinforcing the supremacy of federal law over state law. Meanwhile, McCulloch v. Maryland upheld the constitutionality of the Second Bank of the United States and asserted that states could not tax federal institutions, emphasizing the implied powers of Congress. Together, these decisions laid the groundwork for a stronger federal government and clarified the relationship between state and federal authorities.
