The Founding Fathers agreed that a balanced power between the central and federal government is key to crafting the Constitution.

McCulloch vs Maryland secured the Supreme Court’s ruling allowing the federal government to pass laws not written in the Constitution. The decision guaranteed a powerful federal government—with a defined scope.
