CLEP US History I

Answer: E - McCulloch v. Maryland (1819) established the doctrine of implied powers, meaning that state federal government could claim powers under the Necessary and Proper Clause of the Constitution. This case arose when the state of Maryland attempted to tax a federal bank because it was not chartered in Maryland. The Supreme Court ruled that the federal government was within its rights to establish a bank there and could not be taxed, expanding the power of federal government.
