In ____, the Supreme Court ruled that state governments cannot prevent the national government from establishing national banks within their borders. (Elastic Clause)
A
Gibbons v. Ogden
B
Worcester v. Georgia
C
McCulloch v. Maryland
D
Marbury v. Madison
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Supreme Court, however, decided that the chartering of a bank was an implied power of the Constitution, under the “elastic clause, ” which granted Congress the authority to “make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution” the work of the Federal Government.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the 1819 case McCulloch v. Maryland, the Supreme Court ruled that Congress has the constitutional authority to charter a national bank.

Detailed explanation-3: -For McCulloch v. Maryland, there were two questions the Court was trying to answer: Did Congress have the authority to establish the bank under the Constitution? Did the Maryland law unconstitutionally interfere with congressional powers?

Detailed explanation-4: -McCulloch v. Maryland (1819) is the U.S. Supreme Court case that defined the scope of the federal legislative power and the federal government’s relationship with state governmental authority. The United States Congress incorporated the Federal Bank of the United States through a legislative act.

Detailed explanation-5: -Taxing a federal bank is the right answer. The main reason behind this case was the attempts made by the state of Maryland to prevent the performance of a branch of the Second Bank of the United States by implementing a tax on all currencies of banks not organized in Maryland.
