The decisions of the supreme court in mcculloch
v. maryland (1819) and gibbons v. ogden (1824)
are important because they
(1) clarified constitutional limits on the right to
bear arms
(2) denied slaves the right to sue in federal courts
(3) increased the power of the federal government
over the states
(4) upheld funding for the erie canal
base your answer to question 12 on the passage
below and on your knowledge of social studies.
…i have no motive, my friends, to deceive you.
i am sincerely desirous to promote your welfare.
listen to me, therefore, while i tell you that
you cannot remain where you now are.
circumstances that cannot be controlled, and
which are beyond the reach of human laws,
render it impossible that you can flourish in the
midst of a civilized community. you have but one
remedy within your reach. and that is, to remove
to the west and join your countrymen, who are
already established there. and the sooner you do
this the sooner you will commence your career of
improvement and prosperity….
— president andrew jackson, 1835
