Comparative Analysis of Marbury v. Madison and McCulloch v. Maryland

The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) has addressed various constitutional principles through landmark cases. In this question, you will compare two significant cases: Marbury v. Madison (1803) and McCulloch v. Maryland (1819).

In your response, analyze how each case reflects principles of judicial review and the federalism structure established by the Constitution. Specifically, you should explain the constitutional issues presented in each case, the Court's rulings, and their implications for the balance of power between state and federal governments.

Your response should be well-organized, providing clear comparisons between the two cases with appropriate evidence drawn from both decisions, and considering how these principles have influenced the development of American constitutional law.
