During which of the following cases, the constitutionality of the Bank of the United States was upheld in the Supreme Court decision?
A. McCulloh v.Maryland
B. Marbury v.Madison
C. Plessy v. Ferguson
D. Dred Scott v. Sanford

Hint:
The constitutionality of the Bank of the United States was upheld in the Supreme Court decision in the year 1819 under the constitution. The McCulloch decision laid down two major civil law concepts that prevail today: implied powers and federal supremacy.

Complete answer:
The United States in the year 1819, the nation under the Constitution when a case about the federal reached the court and after the first attempt in the year 1791 Congress established the second national Bank. As many states did not want the National bank to compete with their own banks, they opposed it.

The state imposed a tax of $15000/ year which the cashier refused to pay. The cashier was James McCulloch from the Baltimore branch. As he refused to pay the tax, this case went to the Supreme Court where Maryland argued that as a sovereign state it can tax a business to pay within its borders but the McCulloch’s attorneys argued that the National Bank was necessary in order to carry its enumerated operators for Congress.

Therefore, the correct answer is A

Note:
> Further, the Supreme Court said that the state of Maryland could not tax the National bank and the power to tax involves the power to destroy. As if they tax one instrument and then the other under the federal government, then the government would depend on the states.
> This was the case due to which the constitutionality of the Bank of the United States was upheld in the Supreme Court decision.
