"A federal bank must pay taxes to the state in which it is located."
Maryland imposed a tax on the Second Bank of the United States and argued the state could tax the federal bank (and also challenged Congress's authority to create the bank). The Supreme Court rejected Maryland's tax claim and upheld Congress's power to incorporate the bank under the Necessary and Proper Clause.
