You Make the Call: Using the U.S. Constitution
to Decide the Outcome
Congratulations! The year is 1819 and you are a justice on the Supreme Court of
the United States. Your responsibility is to use the U.S. Constitution to determine
the outcome of the McCulloch v. Maryland case. In order to make an educated
decision, you must follow these procedures:
- Prepare yourself by reading the Background Summary.
-
Read
the excerpts from the U.S. Constitution. In your own
words, explain each of the excerpts.
- Read the summary of the arguments presented by each side. With
whom do you agree? Why?
- Write
your decision. Be sure to include at least one idea
from each of the three excerpts from the U.S. Constitution.
