McCulloch v Maryland .
Marbury vs madison
They both gave more power to the federal government instead of the individual states
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.
The simple answer is the U.S. Constitution.You can read the constitution online in many places.There is disagreement over whether Federal authority currently exceeds constitutional limits and the debate is renewed with many pieces of legislation.Much of the debate stems from the 10th Amendment to the Constitution which reads:The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.Read alone, this amendment limits the powers of the Federal government substantially. However, opponents of this point of view often cite Article I Section 8 (on Congressional Powers), which the final paragraph gives the congress the power:To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.In other words, they can make laws which help them carry out their enumerated powers.This brings up the difference between expressed powersand implied powers.Expressed powers are powers which are specifically to the government by the Constitution. Regulating foreign commerce, declaring war and establishing post offices are all expressed powers.Implied powers are powers which are not specifically given to the government, but which the government has assumed, and which have passed judicial review by the Supreme Court. Chartering a bank (currently the Federal Reserve), and creating Social Security are examples of implied powers.If ObamaCare is upheld by the Supreme Court, then regulating healthcare will become an implied power.

The three branches of government; Judicial, Legislative and Executive, respectively; each are given powers and limits by the Constitution that allow them to "check and balance" the powers of the others. For example, laws originate in Congress (Legislative), must be passed or vetoed and subsequently passed with influence from the President (Executive) and are upheld and reviewed by the courts (Judicial).
Yes, it is. The Affordable Care Act (often called "Obamacare") was passed by congress in 2010, signed by the president, and then upheld by the US Supreme Court in 2012.
