Which statement accurately describes the significance of the war of 1812?
a. england realized that the united states would remain an independent nation.
b. president james madison was impeached by congress over his handling of the war.
c. the united states gained territory in mexico and annexed texas.
d. france regained new orleans after a victory by napoleon's army.

both are true, the congress does have the power to create banks, even if this power is not specifically described in the constitution, since there is nothing restricting it and there is power given to the congress to make "all laws which shall be necessary and proper". maryland was not allowed to tax a branch of the national bank operating there, and the supreme court decided that no state could. both of these topics were discussed in a decision of the mcculloch v. maryland case in 1819.
