Marbury v. Madison (1803). McCulloch v. Maryland (1819). Gibbons v. Ogden (1824). The court rulings strengthened the federal government's control over the economy and also supported the national government over state governments. The Supreme Court made rulings that blocked state interference in business and commerce even if it meant overturning state law.
