Chapter Three Section 2 Federalism

Federalism Over Time Dual federalism (Dual Sovereignty?): Both national and state governments are supreme in their own spheres, which should be kept separate Hard to make distinctions between state and federal spheres; distinctions between them were blurred The Supreme Court has become the ultimate final judge of the balance between states’ rights and the national government Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company.

McCulloch v. Maryland 1819 John Marshall – Chief Justice Could Congress charter a corporation? Yes, even though this power is not explicitly in the Constitution (Necessary and Proper Clause) Could states tax the national bank? No, because Federal government derives power from PEOPLE NOT THE STATES, and “the power to tax is the power to destroy” Enumerated powers could be ‘interpreted’: bank power found in money/tax/borrow powers SUPREME COURT GETS TO INTERPRET!!
