again.......read the constitution concerning the following.....wad it up....and shove it up your butz...
Martin v. Hunter's Lessee (1816): This case affirmed the Supreme Court's authority to review state court decisions that involve federal law. It established the principle that federal courts have the final say on the meaning and interpretation of federal law, even if a state court's decision conflicts.
McCulloch v. Maryland (1819): In this landmark case, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Second Bank of the United States and ruled that states cannot tax a federal entity. This case solidified the supremacy of federal laws over state laws.
Gibbons v. Ogden (1824): The Court held that the power to regulate interstate commerce belongs to Congress, not the states. This case expanded federal power under the Commerce Clause and reinforced the supremacy of federal law in matters of interstate commerce.
Cohens v. Virginia (1821): This case reaffirmed the Supreme Court's jurisdiction to review state court decisions involving federal questions. It emphasized the authority of federal law and the supremacy of the Constitution over state laws.
Cooper v. Aaron (1958): In response to efforts to resist desegregation following Brown v. Board of Education, the Court held that states are bound by the Court's decisions and must enforce them. This case underscored the supremacy of federal court decisions interpreting the Constitution.
