A) In McCulloch v. Maryland the Court argued that......

  1. A State may not be tax federal bank
  2. A State may tax federal bank
  3. The Federal government may not tax state bank
  4. The Federal government may tax state bank

Explanation

The option number second, Third and forth is incorrect because the judgement given by the Supreme court Judge in this case is not applicable to this options.

If we go through in details of this case we can found the below mentioned observations

If we studied in details and go into the details of above mentioned case, It will be noted that the state of Maryland imposed a tax on the bank of $15,000/year, which cashier James McCulloch of the Baltimore branch refused to pay.

The case went to the Supreme Court. Maryland argued that as a sovereign state, it had the power to tax any business within its borders. McCulloch’s attorneys argued that a national bank was “necessary and proper” for Congress to establish in order to carry out its enumerated powers.

In this case, the Supreme Court held that Congress has implied powers derived from those listed in Article I, Section 8. The “Necessary and Proper” Clause gave Congress the power to establish a national bank.

The Supreme Court ruled that Congress had implied powers under the Necessary and Proper Clause of Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution to create the Second Bank of the United States and that the state of Maryland lacked the power to tax the Bank.

In Conclusion Court ruled that Maryland could not tax the national bank, Therefore first option is correct

B) The power of the Legislature to investigate and hold hearing is an....

  1. Rated power
  2. Implied power
  3. Amendment in forcing power

Explanation

First and third of are incorrect because the rated power and amendment in forcing power is with the government, The rated power identifies the ability to accomplish an authorized goal, either by compliance or by obedience; hence, authority is the power to make decisions

The main role of legislature is to formation of law and execute it as per policy of government

The legislature is the superior authority and he has the responsibility to make the laws and along with this main role he has another responsibility such as to work as Custodian of National Finances and perform other judicial work.

The legislative branch has the power to approve Presidential nominations, control the budget, and can impeach the President and remove him or her from office.

The Constitution says nothing about congressional investigations and oversight, but the authority to conduct investigations is implied since Congress possesses “all legislative powers.

Therefore the second option is correct as implied power
