Answer 2

Answer:

1) It ruled that state laws could not undermine a federal institution.

Explanation:

The case McCulloch v. Maryland was a case decided by the US Supreme Court about federal power. In this case, the US Supreme Court decided that the Congress had a few implied powers that come from Article I, Section 8 the US Constitution, such as the power to enact legislation that aids the federal government in pursuing appropriate and legitimate ends.

This means that the Maryland statute was illegitimate because the States have no power to impede any operations of enactments of Congress. Then the Maryland Law was ruled illegitimate because it impeded legitimate federal operations.
