1.The Constitution grants to Congress implied powers for implementing the Constitution's express powers, in order to create a functional national government.

2.State action may not impede valid constitutional exercises of power by the Federal government.

The Supreme Court stated the national bank was constitutional and the federal government was above the state, therefore the state could not tax the federal government.
