d. Extending congressional powers, limiting state powers (1819)

Explanation:

On March 6, 1819, the Supreme Court ruled that Congress could establish a bank, and that States could not tax a federal bank, extending congressional powers, limiting state powers. The rule of the courts by Marshall ensured that the federal government retained relatively strong powers, despite the political dominance of the Jeffersonian after 1800.

several states had passed similar laws, but they were limited to intrastate businesses. the sherman antitrust act was based on the constitutional power of congress to regulate interstate commerce.
