The term "Cottage Industry" is used to describe a method of production that involves workers completing their work at their own homes. This method of production first originated in the 19th century especially in the textile industry, which often involved workers spin thread, wove cotton, and used it to create cloth, which was later sold or used to create other products. According to this, the option that best describes Cottage Industry is D, considering this refers to the production at home including the production fo cloth.

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.
