    McColloch vs. Maryland was a decision constructed by The Supreme Court of the United States. Maryland undertook disrupting an operation of one of the Second Bank of the United States’ branches by striking a tax on all of the banks not authorized by Maryland. The law was identified by the court that Maryland had focused on the United States Bank. The court then allowed the Federal government to pass laws not intended to be for the Constitution’s list of expressed powers. The case that I am referring to as of right now authorized two significant principles in constitutional law. Initially, the constitution stipends implied powers to congress inclining to construct a utilitarian functional government. However, state action could likely…

    Maryland imposed a tax on the bank where it was $15,000 a year. James Mcculloch, who was a cashier at the Federal Bank in Baltimore, had refused to pay any taxes because he believed that the bank had no authority to state taxation. Maryland then filed a suit against McCulloch in order to collect the taxes that he had refused to pay. The issue then turned into the McCulloch v Maryland Case that went on to the Supreme Court. Maryland argued that as a sovereign state, it had the power to tax any business within its boundaries. McCulloch’s attorneys argued that a national bank was “necessary and…

    In 1833, Andrew Jackson began to believe the bank had too much power, so he planned to withdraw $11 million from it, hoping to close it down. “The secretary of the treasury refused to obey his orders, so Jackson fired him” As a result, Jackson had to hire another secretary of the treasury, Roger B. Taney, to obey his will. Surprisingly, the bank survived three more years until shutting down. Andrew Jackson won and it then became a state bank in Pennsylvania. After the whole bank war, you would think Andrew Jackson would settle down and not invoke any more fights. Regrettably, Andrew Jackson persisted otherwise.…

    At the Constitutional Convention, the Convention's resolutions on national legislative authority were particularized into a series of enumerated powers. This meant that under federal law these powers can only govern matters within the terms of some power-granting clause of the Constitution. By adding the Necessary and Proper Clause, the Founding Fathers set the criteria for laws that, may not necessarily be within the terms of other grants, serve to make other federal powers effective. The necessary and proper clause may grant power to congress if it is deemed to reinforce the great powers outlined in the enumerated powers.…

    The landmark case of McCulloch v. Maryland in 1819 unanimously ruled that the Constitution allowed Congress to establish the National Bank. The Court also asserted that the Constitution did not allow a state to tax the Bank. Chief Justice John Marshall stated that the Constitution does not explicitly grant Congress the right to establish a national bank, but also noted that the "necessary and proper" clause of the Constitution gives Congress the authority to do that which they felt was best for the country. Therefore, the Court affirmed the existence of implied powers.…

    It has been rare in American history for presidents and vice-presidents not to get along, but it has happened on a few occasions: Adams and Jefferson, Kennedy and Johnson, and Eisenhower and Nixon are a few examples (Jackson vs. Calhoun-Part 1 1). However, the most controversial relationship between president and his assistant was between Andrew Jackson and John C. Calhoun. Their disagreements began very early on in Jackson's administration, and lasted until after the resolution of the Nullification Crisis. Nullification is the refusal of a state to recognize a federal law within its boundaries and deem that law unconstitutional. In this case, South Carolina, led by John C. Calhoun, refused to recognize the protective tariffs in 1828, and 1832, saying that they benefited the North and injured the South. At this point in time, the American system of government was fairly new and the struggle between state and federal power was in full swing. Towards the end of the crisis, Calhoun went so far as to threaten to secede from the Union to show Jackson and the rest of America that individual state governments were indeed powerful. When the quarrel had reached its peak, Jackson had had enough and decided it was time to put an end to the crisis. The actions and decisions made by President Andrew Jackson in regards to John C. Calhoun and the Nullification Crisis not only enabled the Union to remain together, but proved the power of the federal government.…

    Document B: In the document, Jackson argues that the bank of the United States had to close down because only the wealthy were benefitting from it. The reason for that is that in 1832, Congress passed a bill to recharter the Bank of the United States, and that resulted into a campaign issue. Foreign people held over a fourth of the stocks, and the rest…
