<p>@hsperson123 What were choices?</p>
<p>Curve predictions?</p>
<p>hamilton’s public credit something like that, and a bunch of court cases i think.
Oh, I might’ve mixed up the question with something else. I think this one was about loose vs. strict reading of the constitution. Please correct me if i’m wrong.</p>
<p>@MyRealName I don’t remember all of them, but one of the other choices was the Marshall decision in McCulloch v. Maryland.</p>
<p>I put Hamilton’s public credit, I fail to see what a report on public credit has to do with state’s rights vs. federal gov</p>
<p>I picked McCulloch b/c what does that have to do with the clause of constitution?</p>
<p>@MyRealName As I’ve said, I think i mixed up the question. The one about state’s right vs. federal government, I picked Marbury v Madison…? Anyone agree/disagree?</p>
<p>@smc101101 wasn’t McCulloch about someone who sued the govt over the lottery or something? and marshall ruled in favor of the fed govt?</p>
<p>@smc1011 Per Wikipedia, re McCulloch: “The Court invoked the Necessary and Proper Clause of the Constitution, which allowed the Federal government to pass laws not expressly provided for in the Constitution’s list of express powers, provided those laws are in useful furtherance of the express powers of Congress under the Constitution.”</p>
<p>I put the Gadsden Purchase mostly because it was in 1853, 50 years after all the debates over strict/loose construction of the Constitution.</p>
<p>@smc101101 “The Court invoked the Necessary and Proper Clause of the Constitution, which allowed the Federal government to pass laws not expressly provided for in the Constitution’s list of express powers, provided those laws are in useful furtherance of the express powers of Congress under the Constitution.”</p>
<p>This is what i got when i looked up the McCulloch case
i think it did have to do with the strict/loose reading of the constitution. </p>
<p>@hsperson123 Marbury vs. Madison is about judicial review, but my memory is blurry as to what question had that choice</p>
<p>@hsperson123 I remember putting Marbury v Madison for some question, I think it was that one. And yes, that’s a different question from what everyone is talking about now, which has to do with strict/loose constructionism.</p>
<p>McCulloch v. Maryland had to do with the question concerning which one wasn’t about states vs feds, in which event that was not the answer since the case had everything to do with states vs feds</p>
<p>@MyRealName The question asked something like which of the following did not concern state power vs. federal government power. </p>
<p>Marbury v. Madison has nothing to do with either states vs feds or strict/loose interpretation. </p>
<p>Hamilton was THE federalist. They were called the Hamiltonian Federalists after all, so A) was incorrect.
was B) Marbury v. Madison or McCulloch v. Maryland? Either way it’s wrong. Marshall Court helped the federalists maintain power (for many years, even after Hartford) Madison gave the fed gov power to “review” (effectively veto) ANY law including state law. McCulloch v. Maryland confirmed the BUS and said that you can’t directly suit a federal institution --> strict interpretation issues for both a and b).</p>
<p>Oh…I think the Louisiana Purchase was on there…thats clearly wrong</p>
<p>The answer was Pierce’s Gadsden Purchase - no issue there.</p>
<p>Exactly. Which is why I picked Marbury v Madison. For the strict/loose construction, I chose Pierce’s purchase. </p>
<p>So far it looks like -3 …thats an 800 right?</p>
<p>@MyRealName I put Marbury vs. Madison as well. </p>
<p>@nsquared2 Can you explain why choice A, which I believe said Hamilton’s report on public credit, is wrong? I can’t remember what I picked</p>
