According to Bentham, some pleasures may be more valuable than others, but only in so far as they are of greater intensity or duration.

True.

Explanation:

In "Introduction to the Principles and Moral Legislation", Bentham constructs a guidebook for the legislators in two unique ways.  According to Bentham, some pleasures may be more valuable than others, but only in so far as they are of greater intensity or duration.

One way is the result of painful or containing actions of an action. The second idea is, Utilitarian calculus where he comes up with seven aspects to range the pleasing and painful actions.

These aspects help Bentham prove his theory of pleasure and pain of the people through their actions.

b) a state law could be declared illegal if it contradicted the constitution.

explanation:

the conflict of this case originated when james w. mcculloch, a cashier of the baltimore branch of the second bank of the united states that the congress had chartered in 1816, refused to pay a tax imposed by the maryland state.

in the case, the state of maryland appealed that the establishment of a second bank was unconstitutional since the constitution didn't say anything about granting that power to congress. however, the case determined that even if such right wasn't specifically stated in the constitution, it was part of the "implied powers" of the government enunciated in article i, section 8.

the case also eliminated maryland's legislation to impose taxes to a national bank, asserting that even though the states retained the power of taxation, the constitution's laws are supreme and can not be controlled by the states, therefore, if a state law contradicts the constitution, it should be declared illegal.
