In McCulloch v. Maryland, the Supreme Court invoked the necessary and proper clause and the supremacy clause of the Constitution. The necessary and proper clause, also known as the elastic clause, gives Congress the power to pass any laws necessary and proper for carrying out their enumerated powers. The supremacy clause establishes that federal law is supreme over state law. In the case, the Court upheld the constitutionality of the Second Bank of the United States and ruled that Maryland could not tax the bank because it would interfere with the federal government’s exercise of its necessary and proper powers and violate the supremacy of federal law.
