Solution
Claro, vamos a analizar la pregunta paso a paso.
La pregunta se refiere al caso de la Corte Suprema McCulloch v. Maryland. Este caso es uno de los más importantes en la historia del derecho constitucional de los Estados Unidos y se decidió en 1819.
Primero, revisemos cada opción:
A. "it remained unclear whether a state law could contradict a federal one." Esta opción sugiere que el caso dejó sin aclarar si una ley estatal podría contradecir una ley federal. Sin embargo, uno de los resultados clave del caso fue precisamente aclarar la supremacía de las leyes federales sobre las estatales.
B. "states did not have the power to tax citizens or businesses within their states." Esta opción es incorrecta porque los estados sí tienen el poder de imponer impuestos a ciudadanos y negocios dentro de sus fronteras. El caso McCulloch v. Maryland no trató sobre la capacidad general de los estados para imponer impuestos.
C. "states could operate their own banks without interference from the federal government." Esta opción es incorrecta porque el caso trató sobre la capacidad del gobierno federal para establecer un banco nacional y la imposibilidad de los estados de interferir con este banco mediante impuestos.
D. "a state law could be declared illegal if it contradicted the Constitution." Esta opción es correcta. El caso McCulloch v. Maryland estableció que las leyes estatales no pueden contradecir la Constitución y que el gobierno federal tiene supremacía sobre los estados en asuntos constitucionales.
Por lo tanto, la respuesta correcta es la opción D.
