In McCulloch v. Maryland (1819) the Supreme Court ruled that Congress had implied powers under the Necessary and Proper Clause of Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution to create the Second Bank of the United States and that the state of Maryland lacked the power to tax the Bank.
Arguably Chief Justice John Marshall's finest opinion, McCulloch not only gave Congress broad discretionary power to implement the enumerated powers, but also repudiated, in ringing language, the radical states' rights arguments presented by counsel for Maryland.
McCulloch v Maryland .
McCulloch vs Maryland was the court case that upheld the use of implied powers by Congress in any way they saw needed.
Justice John Marshall declared that the national government holds supremacy over state governments in matters of federal law, establishing the principle of federalism. He emphasized that the Constitution grants Congress implied powers beyond those explicitly enumerated, allowing for a more flexible interpretation of federal authority. This perspective was crucial in cases like McCulloch v. Maryland, where he upheld the constitutionality of the national bank and reinforced the power of the federal government to act in the nation's interest.
The US Supreme Court case, McCulloch v. Maryland, (1918) was initially heard in Baltimore County Court, where a Maryland citizen, John James, sued James McCulloch for failing to pay taxes levied against the Second Bank of the United States. James hoped the court would rule McCulloch had to pay the taxes and that he (James) would collect a portion as a reward. The Baltimore County Court judge upheld Maryland law and found against McCulloch.The case was then appealed to the Maryland Court of Appeals, which affirmed the County Court decision (naturally, the Maryland State courts would uphold their own state laws).McCulloch v. Maryland reached the US Supreme Court on a writ of "Error to the Court of Appeals of the State of Maryland."Case Citation:McCulloch v. Maryland, 17 US 316 (1819)

Justice John Marshall's Federalist beliefs significantly influenced his ruling in McCulloch v. Maryland (1819) by emphasizing a strong central government and its implied powers. He upheld the constitutionality of the Second Bank of the United States, arguing that the federal government had the authority to create a national bank under the Necessary and Proper Clause. Marshall's decision reinforced the supremacy of federal law over state law, aligning with Federalist principles that favored a robust national framework to promote economic stability and unity. This ruling set a precedent for an expansive interpretation of federal powers, shaping the balance between state and federal authority.
