Clarified the constitutional power of Congress
B
Regulated interstate commerce
C

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: -Maryland, 17 U.S. 316 (1819) States cannot interfere with the federal government when it uses its implied powers under the Necessary and Proper Clause to further its express constitutional powers.

Detailed explanation-3: -Maryland that Congress had the authority to establish a federal bank, and that the financial institution could not be taxed by the states. But the decision carried a much larger significance, because it helped establish that the Constitution gave Congress powers that weren’t explicitly spelled out in the document.
