USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The cases of Gibbons v. Ogden and McCulloch v. Maryland strengthened the power of the federal government by giving them the authority to regulate almost everything that crossed state lines (242). It essentially gave the former greater control over the economy.

Detailed explanation-2: -Both cases involve implied powers: Licensing boats (Gibbons) and chartering a national bank (McCulloch). In both cases, the Interstate Commerce Clause is used at least in part as the justification for the implied power.

Detailed explanation-3: -The court decided that the Federal Government had the right and power to set up a Federal bank and that states did not have the power to tax the Federal Government. Marshall ruled in favor of the Federal Government and concluded, “the power to tax involves the power to destroy."

Detailed explanation-4: -Gibbons v. Ogden set the stage for future expansion of congressional power over commercial activity and a vast range of other activities once thought to come within the jurisdiction of the states. After Gibbons, Congress had preemptive authority over the states to regulate any aspect of commerce crossing state lines.

Detailed explanation-5: -Which of the following is true about the case of McCulloch v. Maryland and the conflict between the state and federal government? The state sued the national government based on the claims that the national government had overstepped its bounds by creating the bank and the states could tax it.
