Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both McCulloch v. Maryland and Gibbons v. Ogden were cases that strengthened the power of the federal government over state governments. In McCulloch v. Maryland, the court upheld the constitutionality of Congress creating a national bank and ruled that the state of Maryland could not tax the bank. In Gibbons v. Ogden, the court ruled that the federal government had exclusive authority over interstate commerce, invalidating a state law that granted a monopoly on steamboat travel within the state. These decisions favored the power of the U.S. national government over state governments.
