Answer
A
State governments are supreme over the federal government.

C
The Supreme Court has the power of judicial review.

Explanation

In McCulloch v. Maryland (1819), the Supreme Court ruled that Congress had the authority to establish a national bank under its implied powers. The Court also held that Maryland could not tax the federal bank, because federal law takes precedence over conflicting state action. Therefore, “Congress can establish a national bank” is correct.
