Question 18 • SY 25-26_NJ-U.S. History I_McGeehan_MP2

The Court also decided whether Maryland could tax the bank, addressing whether state governments could interfere with the federal government’s authority. Thus, the case involved the supremacy of federal government and Congress’s implied powers—not state regulation of commerce or which branch reviews laws.
