Supreme Court decisions that changed the nation. McCulloch vs. Maryland

Description

The powers of the federal government are defined according to our interpretation of the Constitution. The extent of these powers is now always spelled out and it is sometimes necessary to determine if certain powers may or may not be implied. In our history, the question of implied powers has long been the subject of dispute between those who support a strong federal government and those who believe in the sovereignty of the state. One groundbreaking dispute over this issue was the case known as McCulloch vs. Maryland -- a case that began after the War of 1812, when the founding of a National Bank caused this heated national controversy to come to a head.
