What does your text say?

Your answer is correct. The Supreme Court finally ruled that Maryland could not tax an agency of the federal government.

You are correct.

To determine the correct answer, let's analyze the options and the historical context:

A) Maryland passed a law that made the national bank pay a large tax to the state.
B) Maryland repealed a law that made banks have to pay extra taxes to the state.
C) Maryland reduced fees in the state banks to compete against the national bank.
D) Maryland increased the services in the state banks to compete against the national bank.

After the War of 1812, the United States government faced financial difficulties and needed to borrow money. To establish a national bank, the government chartered the Second Bank of the United States in 1816. However, some states, including Maryland, were opposed to the establishment of a national bank and the perceived encroachment on states' rights.

In the case of Maryland, the state government took measures against the national bank to protect the interests of the state. In 1818, Maryland passed a law that imposed a large tax on the Second Bank of the United States, with the intention of making it more difficult for the national bank to operate within the state. This legislation was challenged in court, leading to the landmark Supreme Court case McCulloch v. Maryland, which confirmed the constitutionality of the national bank and established the principle of implied powers for the federal government.

Based on this historical context, the answer that best describes how Maryland responded to the national bank created after the War of 1812 is:

A) Maryland passed a law that made the national bank pay a large tax to the state.

Therefore, your initial thought is correct, and the correct answer is indeed A.
