Answer 15

Okay so due to the necessary and proper clause, the federal (national) government created a bank. Maryland started taxing the bank (they are a state, not the fed/national government). Big daddy national government got Chicken Nuggetsed and said you can't do that cause supremacy clause (national gov > state gov).

Answer 16

make sense?

Answer 17

Oh and the necessary and proper clause basically says 'Congress can do stuff to better do what they are supposed to do.'

So they used it to make a bank because they need to deal with commerce.

Answer 18

and the economy.

Answer 19

So McCulloch v Maryland Changes the nature of American federalism by Taxing the national bank to make it harder to deal with commerce and economy?

Answer 20

no

Answer 21

Maryland wanted money. They were just being greedy. But the national government stated that they couldn't touch the federal bank because of the supremacy clause.

Answer 22

Does that make more sense?

Answer 23

ok.............But how does it Change the nature of American Federalism? how does being greedy and wanting money from the federal bank change the nature of federalism

Answer 24

Federalism is a system of government in which there are two or more levels. America has three: national (federal), state, and local (counties/towns).

Answer 25

This was one of the cases that showed the supremacy clause in effect, showing how the national government supersedes the state.
