It resulted in the ability to create the 2nd Bank of the U.S. constitutional but the state of Maryland's ability to tax the bank unconstitutional.
Explanation:
The court deemed the bank constitutional under the Necessary and Proper clause. Since the bank held federal funds used for all Americans, it was unconstitutional for the state of Maryland to take taxes from the funds to use for only their portion of the people. This was an important case because it was one of the steps that gradually took America toward having the federal government more powerful than the states.
