D.The state government gained powers not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution.

Answer 1

The answer is:

C.The federal government gained powers not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution.

The McCulloch v. Maryland is one of the biggest federal courts resolutions, Maryland tried to tax the Federal Bank that operated in its territory, and the federal courte determined that "The power to tax is the power to destroy.... and if we let the States tax any federal bank, they will eventually tax every movement of the federation".

This gave more power to the federal government that what was explicity mentioned in the Constitution.
