Answer 1

i think its B :)
Evidence: The court decided that the Federal Government had the right and power to set up a Federal bank and that states did not have the power to tax the Federal Government. Marshall ruled in favor of the Federal Government and concluded, “the power to tax involves the power to destroy."
Basically: McCullough v Maryland gave the government power to establish a national bank and ruled that states did not have the power to tax the Federal Government.
