What is the result of McCulloch v. Maryland?
(Maryland tries to tax a part of the federal government), so think about it, who has more power... the state governments or the federal governments?
What's that?

Check the following boxes:
What is the result of Marbury v. Madison?
Who is the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court at the time
What is Judicial Review?
Explain Marbury V. Madison to a friend.
Chief Justice John Marshall
The Court found that Madison’s refusal to deliver the commission was illegal, but did not order Madison to hand over Marbury’s commission.. Instead, the Court held that the provision of the Judiciary Act of 1789 enabling Marbury to bring his claim to the Supreme Court was itself unconstitutional, since the Supreme Court can only deal with Constitutional issues of the highest importance. Therefore, Chief Justice John Marshall established the principle of JUDICIAL REVIEW, i.e., the power to declare a law unconstitutional.
Judicial Review is a concept that originates from Marbury v. Madison. The Supreme Court ruled that they have the final say in Constitutional cases, deeming whether a law or act is Constitutional or not. Their final decision is "the law of the land".
This Marbury fool be like " give me my job" and so this Madison fool be like "nah, ese".
So Marbury sues and it goes all the way to the Supreme Court where they tell Marbury sorry but you're at the wrong court and from now on we are as powerful as the President and Congress with this sweet new power of JUDICIAL REVIEW.

The state of NY tries to give a 20 year MONOPOLY contract to Ogden's steam boat company. A competitor, Gibbons, then sues him arguing that travel and business between the states cannot be decided by state laws, only by NATIONAL laws.
What is the result of Gibbons v. Ogden?
Justice Marshall concluded that regulation of navigation by steamboat operators conducting interstate commerce was a power reserved by the Congress under the Commerce Clause. As interstate navigation fell under interstate commerce, New York could not interfere with it, and the law was therefore invalid.
Simply, the Court argued that the national government had exclusive power over interstate commerce, negating state laws interfering with the exercise of that power.
The State law from NY won.
