1. How a member is chosen (primary v. party) 2. Role in picking the Executive 3. Commitment to party vs. independent representative

POWERS OF CONGRESS

EXPRESSED(16)… ENUMERATED… VS. IMPLIED (NECESSARY AND PROPER) (ELASTIC CLAUSE) (army, navy, air force?)

ARTICLE I, SECTION 8 McCULLOCH V. MARYLAND (THIS WAS ABOUT CREATION OF THE NATIONAL BANK AND WHETHER THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAD THE AUTHORITY TO CREATE SUCH A BANK AND WHETHER THE STATE OF MARYLAND COULD TAX THAT BANK AND WHEN THE SUPREME COURT RULED THAT SINCE CONGRESS ALREADY HAD THE EXPRESSED POWER TO COIN MONEY AND REGULATE ITS VALUE THAT IT “IMPLICITLY” HAD THE POWER TO CREATE A NATIONAL BANK THROUGH THE ELASTIC CLAUSE AND THAT THE STATE OF MARYLAND DID NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO TAX THE BANK SINCE THAT WOULD GIVE STATES MORE POWER THAN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SINCE THE STATE OF MARYLAND COULD TAX THE BANK OUT OF EXISTANCE…THE POWER TO TAX IS THE POWER TO DESTROY)
