Chronicles one of the first--and most famous--cases to define the reach and power of the federal government over the states. It addressed two questions: Did Congress have the authority to establish a national bank? And was the Maryland law used to tax that bank interfering with the federal government's constitutional authority? In one of Chief Justice John Marshall's most famous opinions, the Court unanimously answered yes to both questions.
