Question

james mcculloch most likely supported the idea that congress could create banks because he knew that maryland law did not allow for state - run banks. he believed the court should follow the implied powers of the constitution. he supported the idea of federal supremacy. he didnt want to pay state taxes on his bank.

Explanation:

In McCulloch v. Maryland, McCulloch supported Congress's power to create banks. The key idea was the recognition of the implied powers of the Constitution. The Constitution gives Congress certain powers, and the power to create banks was seen as an implied power under the Necessary and Proper Clause. This case also established federal supremacy over state - laws that conflict with federal law. But the most direct reason for supporting Congress's power to create banks was the belief in implied powers.

Answer:

B. he believed the Court should follow the implied powers of the Constitution.
