  5. Defining Constitutional Powers • McCulloch v. Maryland (1819)—established the implied powers of the national government and the idea of national supremacy • (from the necessary and proper clause) • (from the supremacy clause) • Gibbons v. Ogden (1824) – established that the power to regulate interstate commerce was an exclusive national power • (from the commerce clause)

  6. The Reassertion of States’ Rights and the Civil War • Nullification – the idea that states could declare a national law null and void • Secession – the withdrawal of a state from a union

  7. The Continuing Dispute over the Division of Power • Dual Federalism – the national and state governments as equal sovereign powers • Cooperative Federalism – the idea that states and the national government should cooperate to solve problems
