Document Summary

The fundamental challenge faced by the framers was to create a national government that was more effective than the one established by the articles of confederation, but that still preserved the rights and responsibilities of the states. Madison believed that federalism and the separation of powers would assist in checking the abuses of political power by providing a double security. It was this principle of federalism the idea of dividing authority between the national and state governments. Mcculloch v. maryland: established the constitutional supremacy of the federal gov over state gov"s suggested by implied powers doct. (bank in maryland, maryland wanted to taxfed gov always wins) The supreme court limited the power of the national government through its interpretation of the commerce. In essence, the old distinction between interstate commerce and intrastate manufacturing was thrown out, granting congress new authority to regulate any activity that crossed state lines.
