What Are The Implied Powers case of McCulloch v. Maryland
addressed the scope of powers held by the Federal Government and
expanded them in provoking the creation of the doctrine of
implied powers granted under the Constitution. The Supreme Court
thus placed limits of states to act against programs undertaken
by the Federal Government. To provide justification for this
decision, the Court appealed to Clause 18, Section 8 of Article
I of the Constitution, as it is considered to represent the
"Necessary and Proper Clause." This section grants Congress the
ability to pass legislation which it finds "necessary and
proper" for the task of exercising the other rights expressly
given by the Constitution. The implied powers doctrine came out
of an attempt by the State of Maryland to block under law the
operations of the Federally-backed Second Bank of the United
States. The State Legislature thus placed a tax on the notes
held by all banks originally established outside of the State.
