  1. McCulloch v. Maryland

  2. Text from Document • “There is nothing in the Constitution of the United States similar to the Articles of Confederation, which exclude incidental or implied powers.”

  3. Main Idea • Maryland attempted to destroy a branch of the Bank of the U.S by imposing a tax on its notes. • John Marshall declared bank constitutional by invoking the Hamiltonian doctrine of implied powers.

  4. Inferences • Strengthened federal authority • Affirmed “that the power to tax involves the power to destroy” and “that a power to create implies a power to preserve.” • Supported “loose construction” of constitution.

  5. Point of View of Bias • John Marshall was famous for a group of his decisions involving strengthening the power of the federal government at the expense of the states.
