What were stockbrokers busy doing on Sunday, October 27, 1929?

Stockbrokers were busy putting orders in their books and trying to catch up on clerical work.

After the crash, millions of American people lost their jobs, companies closed, and banks broke. It was the beginning of the US Great Depression, the worst economic crisis in the history of the United States. It was a time of much suffering for the citizens who did not receive any help from the federal government.

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.
