False. McCulloch v. Maryland (1819) is a landmark United States Supreme Court case that established two key principles of constitutional law. Firstly, it held that the Constitution grants to Congress implied powers for implementing the Constitution’s express powers, to create a functional national government. Secondly, it determined that state action may not impede valid constitutional exercises of power by the Federal government. The court's decision was a decisive victory for Federal supremacy over the states and is an example of how Federal power can be expanded through the necessary and proper clause, sometimes known as the elastic clause.
