1. the decision in mcculloch v. maryland was important because it-
a. upheld the constitutionality of the judiciary act of 1789
b. created congress's power to establish a national bank if "necessary and proper"
c. permitted the federal government to regulate interstate commerce
d. established the supreme court's power to judge the constitutionality of laws

d

Explanation:

essentially, the case concerned the issue of whether or not the states had the right to tax a federal entity or institution. McCulloch appealed to the supreme court, claiming that the tax was unconstitutional as the constitution granted the federal government the authority to do whatever was necessary and proper to conduct business. Maryland proposed that as a sovereign state power it had the right to tax any business within its boundaries.

i would say that the politicial parties from state to state varies.
