The first battle of implied powers of Congress was fought over the formation of banks. In 1790, Alexander Hamilton urged Congress to set up a national bank. Opponents of this claimed that Constitution didn't give Congress that power to establish such a bank. Hamilton won after reviewing the Necessary and Proper Clause. this battle and the first national bank was established in 1791. However, it's charter expired in 1811. During the 20 years it was opened, it was unchallenged by the courts.

What famous Marshall decision upheld the doctrine of implied powers and proclaimed national supremacy over the states?

Marbury vs madison


What was strengthened as a result of McCullough v Maryland Gibbons v Ogden and Dartmouth College v Woodward?

As a Federalist, Marshall exerted great influence over the other members of the Court to support federal supremacy over state sovereignty. The Supreme Court's decisions in the named cases prevented the states from subordinating the federal government to state laws. Some of these cases rested on the implied powers of Congress, rather than the enumerated powers; others rested on interpretation of enumerated powers, such as the Interstate Commerce Clause and its application. In these cases, the Supreme Court's decisions set a precedent allowing the Legislative Branch to exercise "implied powers," in addition to the expressed powers listed in Article I of the Constitution. Both cases exercised the interstate commerce clause of Article I, and both relied on the Article VI Supremacy Clause. Chief Justice John Marshall's opinions transferred some of the power traditionally held by the states to the Federal government.
