Yes, you are correct. The case McCulloch v. Maryland cemented the power of the federal government by establishing federal supremacy over the states with regard to certain matters. In this case, the Supreme Court ruled that the federal government had the authority to create a national bank, even though there was no specific mention of a national bank in the Constitution. The Court also held that state governments could not interfere with or impede the operations of the federal government within their jurisdictions. This ruling expanded the powers of the federal government and established its supremacy in areas where it had authority, thus strengthening its overall power.

Yes, you are correct. The case McCulloch v. Maryland, decided by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1819, solidified the power of the federal government by establishing federal supremacy over the states with regard to certain matters. In this case, the Court ruled that the federal government had the constitutional authority to create a national bank and that states could not impose taxes on it. This decision reinforced the notion that the federal government's powers are supreme and cannot be undermined by individual state actions. Hence, option C is the correct answer.
