    The Maryland state assembly issued a "stamp tax" requiring banks, including the Baltimore branch of the Second National Bank, to pay for special stamped paper. James McCulloch, a cashier for the Baltimore branch, was sued for not complying. The Supreme Court ruled 7-0 that Maryland did not have the right to tax the national bank, established by Congress to carry out its constitutional powers, setting the precedent that states cannot tax federal institutions.
