Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

a and b are correct.

a. The Supreme Court ruled that the elastic clause allowed Congress to create a national bank, even though the Constitution did not explicitly say so.

b. The Supreme Court ruled that the elastic clause did not allow Congress to prevent Maryland from taxing national bank branches in Maryland.

c, d, e, and f are incorrect.

c. There is no evidence to suggest that Congress avoided establishing national bank branches in Maryland after the ruling.

d. The case did not involve Congress's power to "raise and support armies," so this statement is incorrect.

e. The case did not involve Congress's power to "raise and support armies," so this statement is incorrect.

f. The case did establish the principle of broad congressional authority under the elastic clause, but it did not provide specific examples of how Congress could use this authority. Therefore, this statement is too general to be considered correct or incorrect based on the case.
