Mcculloch V. Maryland

Between 1811 and 1816, there was no national bank in the United States. A second Bank of the United States was created in 1816, but controversies over the bank, its notes, and the entire paper money system were part of what brought the Supreme Court into the debate raised by McCulloch v. Maryland. With clear language and detailed, full-color photographs, this new title in the ""Great Supreme Court Decisions"" series explores the events leading to the landmark case. Information-packed sidebars and a detailed chronology enhance the reader's historical perspective.
