Answer
In McCulloch v. Maryland, the Supreme Court argued that although the power of Congress to charter a bank is not found in the specific powers granted by the Constitution to Congress in Article I, Section 8 (known as "expressed powers"), it could be "implied" through other powers, such as those found in the commerce clause. This decision resulted in an expansion of the national government's power.
