The case that resulted in a Supreme Court ruling supporting the concept of implied powers is McCulloch v. Maryland (1819). In this landmark decision, the Court, led by Chief Justice John Marshall, upheld the constitutionality of the Second Bank of the United States and affirmed that Congress had the authority to create it under the Necessary and Proper Clause. This ruling established that the federal government possesses powers beyond those explicitly listed in the Constitution, thereby reinforcing the concept of implied powers.
