The questions before the supreme court in mcculloch v. maryland question 13 options: included whether the national government could charter a bank. included both a and
b. were resolved by a ruling issued by chief justice william rehnquist. included whether congress could incur a debt on behalf of a state. included whether a state could tax a national bank.

The correct answer is "included whether the national government could charter a bank."

In McCullough vs. Maryland, the Second National Bank of the United States was located in Maryland. Maryland, at the time, passed legislation to put a tax on banks. McCullough (who worked at the National Bank) refused to pay this tax. The state of Maryland then took up this case and ruled that the national government did not have the power to create a national bank because it was not written in the Constitution. This case was then brought to the Supreme Court.

Included whether a state could tax a national bank.--included whether the national government could charter a bank.

Maryland issued a tax on the national bank and McCulloch refused to pay the tax. Maryland contested they could tax the bank because there was no constitutional base for the bank. 

The Supreme Court unanimously decided with McCulloch and stated a state could not tax a federal entity. They again stated the federal government could have a national bank as it fell under the necessary and proper clause.
