Who was involved in the McCulloch vs. Maryland case?

The McCulloch v. Maryland case involved James McCulloch, the cashier of the Second Bank of the United States, and the state of Maryland. Maryland imposed a tax on the bank, which McCulloch refused to pay, leading to a legal dispute. The case ultimately reached the Supreme Court, where Chief Justice John Marshall delivered the opinion that upheld the federal government's authority to create a national bank and denied the state's right to tax it. This landmark decision reinforced federal supremacy over state laws.
