A. 1) The first principle outlined in McCulloch vs. Maryland is the supremacy of the national government over the states, which states that as long as the national government follows its constitutional rights, it will always have power over the states. Article 1 is important to answer this.

2) The second principle outlined in McCulloch vs. Maryland is that the national government has implied powers beyond its enumerated powers meaning that it has powers that go beyond the ones listed in the constitution that are necessary to carry out the execution of the foregoing powers and fulfill its responsibilities. Article 1 section 8 is important to answer this

B. 1) The full faith and credit clause says that public acts, records and judicial proceedings are acknowledge in every state and upheld, no matter where they which state they were settled in. One exception to this is gay marriage. If a gay civil union is formed in one state, it can be disregarded by other states.

2) The privileges and immunities clause states that all privileges and rights of a citizen are the same in every state. One exception for this clause is the tuition to attend a public university. If a citizen attends a public university in the state which he lives in, he will pay less then citizens coming from out of the state to attend the school.
