What were some things the pilgrims/the first english puritans encountered that were bad when they landed?

Fear of starvation--after a long ship journey and the ship getting off of route, the Puritans were running out of supplies. Upon arrival Puritans needed food and needed to get settled quickly. The first winter was the hardest on the Puritans and many died due to cold and lack of food.

Encounters with Native Americans--though the tribes the Puritans encountered were friendlier than others, they were unknown to Puritans, others than stories and books written by earlier explorers. Violence would be experienced between the two cultures. Much of the violence centered on competition for food and resources.

b) a state law could be declared illegal if it contradicted the constitution.

explanation:

the conflict of this case originated when james w. mcculloch, a cashier of the baltimore branch of the second bank of the united states that the congress had chartered in 1816, refused to pay a tax imposed by the maryland state.

in the case, the state of maryland appealed that the establishment of a second bank was unconstitutional since the constitution didn't say anything about granting that power to congress. however, the case determined that even if such right wasn't specifically stated in the constitution, it was part of the "implied powers" of the government enunciated in article i, section 8.

the case also eliminated maryland's legislation to impose taxes to a national bank, asserting that even though the states retained the power of taxation, the constitution's laws are supreme and can not be controlled by the states, therefore, if a state law contradicts the constitution, it should be declared illegal.
